Wheelset options 126mm O.L.D

[Alh14]

My Colnago Master frame has an O.L.D of 126mm.

What are my wheel options ? Is it a case of buying the correct hubs and then getting wheels built ?

I don't really want to run tubs as the West Country roads are puncture hell !

Re: wheels

I look out for NOS or lightly used hubs and have wheels built with new rims (or NOS if possible)
Hard to find good used wheels

It's easy to spring the rear end to 130mm with a bit of gentle thumb pressure without the need for formal cold setting

Re:

Campy nos hubs are hideously expensive !! Are they worth it or can I get 'away' with these hubs https://thecycleclinic.co.uk/collection ... wheel-hubs

Andel / Zenith stuff is pretty good, it depends on how "period" you want your bike to be

Re:

What gears are you looking at? Shimano or Campag? 7 speed?

I like Shimano 600 hubs 6207 or 6400.

Campagnolo super record rear derailleur. I'm guessing six speed.

Six speed non indexed freewheel would be just the jobby

Something like this ?

That range might be a bit much for your short cage Campag mech.

14-24 would be better

Or a vintage one from evilbay etc.
