Hi all,

up for sale are a set of wheels, I got em from here now not sure if they are right for the foxxy build. 217 SUP's with lovely blue nipples :p and chromey White ind hubs.

not 100% about selling TBH but if someone wants em i probs will sell.

Front wheel is pretty nice, only minor issue seems to be stickers slightly off, put it on me bike and it seems very true, couple MM at the very worst, wasn't super scientific :D but looked good braking surface hasn't been scored a lot either so loads life there.

The rear again, its quite true but not as true as the front one.

I think historically from what I gather there was some trouble with the freehub body or something, It has now been fixed/replaced it seems fine but there is some play in the hub and I have no idea how to tighten it :?: :oops: The cassette was meant to be suck on, but i got it off carefully tapping it off from behind without too much fight. ;) there seems to be some bends in the spokes nearby where it has been levered in its history though.

All in all they look alright the hubs, just play that needs tightening somehow.
The rear rim has had a bit more braking done, its not bad its just scored a bit over time, should be some life in it i expect. :) however I did notice this historic minor ding

Ok we need a price don't we? Say £65 to allow for a little ovno, inc P&p though thats cheque price, we'll have to sort summat to cover paypal fees maybe.

:) cheers
 
The play in the hub is a very easy fix, just needs a shim fitted (i made one up from a coke can), also bearings are very easy to get (£5 each from my local bearing place)

The axle and hub body comes out by slackening off three allen bolts accessed through the tiny hole on the non drive side of the hub, then the axle can be tapped out, watch for the pawls though as these may fall off the hub body.

My cassette is tight to get on and off too (Shimano), must be common with White industries hubs

Hope this info helps ;)
 
Thanks Jimi,

Bearings don't seem too bad really at all, i can see the little bollts but no idea how to get to em n stuff, was always a bit rubbish with wheels, though I did build a set once BITD! :D
 
These were sold, but something bad happened to the buyer before a cheque in my post box. bums. :( hope all gets better soon.

So still available. Any interest?
 
Anyone? decent deal for light wheels

if no takers this time, then will get em on my Raleigh. Just could do with MOTing my new van and they are gathering dust at this moment

Also up for grabs brand new Onza (Alex) Half fat trials wheels in blue.
£70 delivered?
