The QUICK question thread.....

Not sure budget carbon wheels are the best idea. Given your preference for burly bikes and your hulk like physique, maybe something a bit more of a known quantity and robust would be the go.

They are just going to go on the old specialised frame that I got off rowdy, will be used for just pootling around. I can tell people I'm modern as.
$189 for a set ready to ride, what could go wrong

 

[Dales Cannon]

Hmmm, not light either.

But lighter than the crap I have at the moment, and new. Fuck, imagine having new wheels

I can give you a set of basic Shimano QR 26" wheels. I would rather ride on them. No postage you have to hire a 747 to pick them up.

We'll get around to it one day! .... There are only pretty much 1 of's left in them... throw me an offer... you might be surprised!

Let me settle on my house purchase and I might just do that. One would be good for the new pump track in the back yard!

Aldis special buys on Saturday have metric and imperial o-rings.

Might be good for hoses but just putting it out there in case it helps.

Still waiting to hear some idea on what size. We have specialty hydraulic shops in town, I’m possibly heading in later, but still in the dark as to what you need.
