Wanted ....front wheel

Post by Hawk »

I have a front rim that is out of true and no amount of spoke tensioning and wheel balancing is going to sort it.

Anyone got a (true) front rim or wheel they are willing to part with in exchange for beer tokens?

Hi,

I have a front wheel that has a cracked hub, so you're welcome to the rim.

Where are you located?

That would be perfect. I'm in Warwick and guessing you are in Cheshire.

I have a mate who works in Crewe ans lives the other side of Nantwich who may be able to collect.

How much do you want for it?

Send it to central wheel to rebuild with stainless spokes. Not far from you.

I've used central wheels before to build SM rims but for the Suoer 10 they are prohibitively expensive ....approaching 500 pounds to lace Excel rim and spokes to my hub.

I've bought bikes for less than that 😅

I'm actually from Crewe, but now live on the East Coast. I am visiting my dad next week, so can drop it off for you?
A small donation to the Royal British Legion is all I'm asking.
I can let you know the day I'm coming over on Monday.

Typically my mate is on holiday Thursday and Friday!! Perhaps another time?

Or could I be cheeky and ask that you post it for me ....I would cover costs of course

How about next Wednesday?
I would offer to post, but I wouldn't be able to manage that until Monday. Could you wait until then?
