Pair of wheels for V-brakes + 8 speed XT cassette

[TDIfurby]

Ebay seems to be full of disc brake rims which I'm not even sure you can use "old school" V-brakes on.... Anyone got a pair of decent wheels i can use with my Proflex 957 please, including an 8 speed cassette (XT preferred)

I will be travelling this weekend to Llandow South Wales, to Derby, Nottingham, Burton on Trent, and then back to Devon again.

I may have a set of XT (m737rear, m738 front) hubs on mavic 217 (silver) rims up for grabs. I was going to split them and rebuild them using XTR hubs, but they are 36 hole, and my XTR hubs are 32h, so it seems a waste to do it now (especially as it would have been easier to swap everything over if they were both 32h).

If you are interested, I can try and get you some pics tomorrow, as it is a bit dark to venture into the shed right now.

Got some minty black LX hubs with DB spokes on Mavic 220 silver rims.

Send a PM if interested. There is mininmal wear on the rims and the cones are excellent. No cassette though

Difference in hubs is pretty much nothing as shimano (to my knowledge) used the same hib through the 737/8/9 range (or as near as). Rim wise, I'd say that the 217's are possibly lighter and silver, and the Dxxx rims are likely to be brown/black in finish and a little heavier perhaps, but I'm guessing as I believe the Dxxx rims are more modern and I've never had any.

As for moolah, I'd be looking for about £60 posted to your door, and I could throw in some skewers for that too.
