A heap o' handbuilt big wheel specials.

(spam pass here)

1) Salsa Gordo front wheel. DT FR front hub, DT Alpine 3 spokes, 36h, 3x, with DT Prolock nipples. Ridden ~100 trail miles. Perfectly round and true, just a bit of dust in the hard-to-reach places. Comes with 20mm end caps, but I'm happy to convert it to QR before shipping.

$255 shipped.

2) Bling! Hope Pro 2's in red, laced to Stans Arch in white. Black DT butted Comps, red DT alloy nips.




New, never used. This set comes with Stans yellow tape and valves installed. Front can be converted to 9, 15, 20, or 24mm before shipping--please specify.

$650 shipped.

3) Schwing! Halo Spin Doctor Pro XC hubs in 32h, white. Laced to a set of white Arch rims using black DT Comps and DT Prolock nips.


Tape and valves already installed.



$500 shipped.

4) DT Swiss Onyx (centerlock) hubs in 32h, black. Laced to a set of white Flow rims using butted black DT Comp spokes and DT Prolock nips.




Tape and valves already installed.

Hubs are QR only *and* last year's models, thus the very friendly price of $460 shipped for this wheelset.

5) Front wheel only. No-name front 6-bolt disc hub, Rigida ZAC 19 rim, straight gauge spokes and brass nips. Came stock on my commuter--ridden about 10 miles before I replaced it.


Like new condition, includes skewer.

$75 shipped.

6) Chris King hubs in brown, 36h, laced to Gordo's.


Front hub is 20mm thru, rear is 12 x 150 thru.


Spokes are DT Alpine 3, nips are DT Prolock alloy. This set was ridden for about two months on my personal bike. Thus, they are scratched in many places from incidental contact with trailside rocks.

No dents, no flat spots, just scratches and a little dust. Hubs are like-new. $600 shipped.

7) Burly 29" wheelset. 110 x 20mm front, 12 x 150mm rear.


The wheelset starts with a set of 36* DT 440 hubs, laced to Salsa Gordo rims (in, you guessed it, 36*) using DT Swiss Competition spokes and DT Prolock alloy nips. I used a handful of white Comps on each wheel to make them stand out a bit more, as these wheels were built for a show bike.



The front wheel has been ridden for about four hours, the rear wheel is new/unridden.

Finished off with a wrap of Stans yellow tape, they're ready for your big-wheeled big-hit bike NOW.

MSRP on this set would be almost $1200. Get this set, on special now, for $560 shipped.

***Front hub can be QR, 9mm thru-bolt, or 20mm TA. Pick one.

8) Front wheel ONLY. Maverick 24mm thru-axle hub laced to Stans Arch rim. 32h, laced 3x with DT Competition spokes and DT Prolock nipples. New, unridden.

MSRP is $380. Get it here for $200. Stans yellow tape and valve stem included.




9) Front wheel ONLY. DT Swiss FR front hub, 32h, black. Bontrager Duster disc OSB TLR (Tubeless Ready) rim, 32h, black. Laced with butted DT Comps and DT Prolock alloy nips. New, unridden. Includes Bontrager TLR strip and valve for ease of tubeless use.


Hub is set up for a standard QR, but can be easily converted (without tools, you just need to pop the end caps off and snap a new set on) to 9mm or 20mm. Conversion end caps are NOT included in the price.

MSRP on this wheel is $400+. Last year's model hub means I'm blowing it out cheap--$240 shipped.

All prices include UPS Ground shipping and insurance, to the lower 48 only. Canada or AK? Sure, but shipping will be higher.

MC
