Title: need: wheel set.... Post by: jewish on October 11, 2008, 11:55:37 PM converting my 5spd road bike to single speed and my current wheels are KO'd.... been checking craigslist around here but theres really not much for what i want to spend. I'm just looking a shit thats straight and true. currently it has old school 27" wheel set with cassette gearing and from reading i can update it to 700c wheel sets and freewheel aswell...... just looking for something semi cheap as this is just going to be a grocer getter quick trip bike
tia guys Title: Re: need: wheel set.... Post by: Weaver on October 12, 2008, 10:28:04 AM i got a rear wheel you can HAVE, nothing wrong with it and in brand new shape i'm just moving in a couple weeks and the new place has ZERO storage. its an eyeletted mavic cxp22 rim with black spokes to a straight pull specialized hub, sealed bearings, its cassetted but has a single speed kit on it. I would probably keep the single speed kit, came with spacers, i think 5 different gears to choose from, lockring, or just throw me 20 bucks which is right around what i payed for the kit and you can have that too.
felt nice and took a quick pic. like i said if you dont want the kit on it, free. It's a decent wheel. (http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/2591/dscn1501kz5.jpg) Title: Re: need: wheel set.... Post by: Fallen on October 12, 2008, 07:18:32 PM I have a 700c front you can have too. Not the best but not the worst. Prolly some other track shit too. What area are you in sans jerusalem?

Title: Re: need: wheel set.... Post by: Fallen on October 13, 2008, 01:47:25 AM I will look around tomorrow for what I have. If you wanna spend some cash I have frog lights and an uber nice strobe rear too. Otherwise... I know for a fact I have a CRAZY drop stem and maybe some other shit that falls under the free tangent. You gonna be at DUBBQ? Don't really wanna ship anything.
Title: Re: need: wheel set.... Post by: Weaver on October 13, 2008, 05:29:51 AM i'm moving to tacoma and will be in the area the next two weekends so we'll work it out. perhaps a bartership of helping move my couch up three flights of stairs is in order :wave:
Title: Re: need: wheel set.... Post by: jewish on October 13, 2008, 05:46:24 AM no dubbq for me with working saturday mornings, but im sure someone could pick the shit up, otherwise i can just suck it up and make the trip down. but yeah, let me know what you have and ill throw you some cash for the wheel and whatever else.
Weaver, me and duff are headed to oktoberfest in leavenworth this weekend but id be down to help ya out next weekend or possibly this sunday depending on when we get back. thanks again guys Title: Re: need: wheel set.... Post by: Weaver on October 13, 2008, 07:12:29 PM yeah i was supposed to go to that but an impromptu san diego trip arose the same weekend. I'm meeting up with raquel in tacoma on thursday (shes taking me to the airport) and will give the wheel/single speed shit to her (she's going with you guys to leavenworth) so that'll work. And you'll just owe me one :ky:

Post by: Fallen on October 13, 2008, 07:25:58 PM k. looked today and in terms of free shit have the wheel, some super chopped down straightish bars and a red rear light that is taped together. I'll leave it in the back of the cab till the bbq

Post by: Fallen on October 15, 2008, 06:49:13 PM no cash needed for that stuff. kept the stuff that had any non dci value to me.

Title: Re: need: wheel set.... Post by: jewish on October 22, 2008, 10:35:53 AM no biggie. duff mentioned something about possibly getting it from her this week. im in no big rush at his point so its all good
Title: Re: need: wheel set.... Post by: Weaver on November 04, 2008, 07:00:24 PM this shit ever make it your way?
Title: Re: need: wheel set.... Post by: jewish on November 06, 2008, 05:31:21 PM not yet, but to be honest i haven't really pursued it much this week as i've been busy with work/school. I was planning on having duffman try to get ahold of her this weekend
Title: Re: need: wheel set.... Post by: Weaver on December 17, 2008, 02:52:17 PM this project come in to fruition yet?
Title: Re: need: wheel set.... Post by: jewish on December 17, 2008, 04:11:42 PM nah. school kinda got in the way of doing anything for a while. Id like to finish it by the end of the month but well see. Im in no big rush. The main thing holding me back is getting the cranks off, since i dont have the proper tool. Just need to purchase a new chain, some shorter chainring bolts and then put the bitch back together.
Title: Re: need: wheel set.... Post by: jewish on December 17, 2008, 05:27:59 PM and tires.. thats kind of an important aspect.
