Orange P7 Wheel replacement

[Phil46]

Hi all,
I have recently purchased an Orange P7 circa 1995 but the braking surface on the original FIR rims are badly worn & the STX wheel hub bearings are also buggered.
Basically can any of you recommend a new wheel & hub set up that would enhance my P7?

cheers

Double check the wear on the rims is actually wear. The FIR rims Orange used were a bit concave.

They look worn to me?

Hi,
2manyoranges tells me you may have a FIR front wheel/hub, is he correct?
Cheers

I think I have a rim. I'll have a look tomorrow. I was trying to put a wheelset together & then got a bike with a FIR wheelset so mission accomplished.

I might be tempted to part with my set of these.....

Is it just a rim or complete wheel set?

PM me condition on the rims & hub bearings and also the cost?

Wall thickness looks to be around 1.2mm. Profile looks same as a set of little used ones I have.
