Pete Matthews built Ultegra/Mavic Open Pro wheels for sale
Beautiful, practical, durable & lightweight traditional handbuilt wheelset, perfect for our nasty British roads!
Mavic Open Pro 32-hole rims in silver built 3-cross onto polished silver Shimano Ultegra 6500 hubs (made in Japan, not Malaysia) with polished silver Sapim stainless spokes & brass nipples for longevity and ease of truing.
I've had the hubs stripped and rebuilt/re-greased for winter by my LBS, as apparently Shimano tend to under-grease their hubs at the factory and don't use the best quality grease so the grease has been replaced with a heavy duty "winter-spec higher viscosity" grease which lasts basically forever according to my fastidious mechanic!!
Velox rim tapes and Ultegra skewers included.
These wheels are fantastic, they have seen very little use (about 150 dry miles in total!) and there is not even any braking surface wear - you can still see the Mavic UB Control machining lines and the brake tracks are super clean - not even the usual black residue from the pads!
Everything runs smooth and true. Not ridden since the grease upgrade so just as good as new really (maybe better?!)
Price is £175 + £12 UK delivery in a proper wheel box, will send worldwide at cost.
I can get an as new Ultegra 6600 cassette 10-spd 12-25 fitted for £30 extra with the wheels too if required, and can get tyres/tubes fitted for a little extra if needed.
Also have a 9-spd 105 cassette I can get fitted for £20 extra if you are running 9-speed.
