Wanted road wheels
Tue, 22/04/2008 - 18:48 — flyingporkpies
I need a nice set (or at least rear) of used road wheels. 130mm spacing. Light weight, preferably old style 32 to 36 spokes laced to box section Alu rims, Mavic or something would be coool. 5 speed ok if real cheap, 8 or 9 speed better. Find a home for your outdated wheels here!
Cheers
John

How would a set of Mavic GP4
How would a set of Mavic GP4 (singles)on campag hubs 6 speed, 36 spokes circa 1985 go, or alternatively Mavic OR10 singles on Duraace, also 6 speed 36 spoke 1986. I would like to keep one of them to keep the old beast on the road.
Sounds good
The wheels sound good but I only have a 5 speed cassette. I would buy an 8 or 9 for a wheel if it would go on ok, but I think a 6 speed will only work with a 6 speed cassette and I'm not sure if they are easy to get these days. You may want to keep both wheels for that reason. I'm also not sure I could afford campag or dura ace.
Wheels
If these are for an old bike you may need 27x1 1/4 not 700c.
I can build either with 6 speed spin-on hubs.

No, they're 700c. I already
No, they're 700c. I already have an ok 5/6 speed wheel. It's just a bit heavy. I have 105 late 90s shifters. I really want an 8 speed so I can go 9 later if I upgrade shifters. I could spend 500, even 1000 on a light wheelset, but in the spirit of this salvaged bike (an early Jonesman, in 753 Reynolds I think) I want used but racey wheels.
