Mark or anyone: I have a couple of 32 hole rims. One Sun M13II and one Alex AT-450.
i'm trying to build a new bike but am going to have to build at least my rear wheel because i want to put in a 3 speed internal hub (which is why i need the 36 hole rims)
just thought i'd see if anyone randomly had anything like this they were looking to sell. if so reply here or email me at hmhale@gmail.com
thanks!
My apologies for being off topic, but your profile image is driving me nuts, what's the story on that? Anime?
BTW, good choice on using the 3 spd, I'm a huge fan of internal. Harris cyclery sells, among other 3 spd parts, a big 23 tooth cog that will slip right on most common hubs, I have one, really nice on the hills. Most 3 spds are geared for, like, Amsterdam.
Also a big fan of Internal hubs, I found a three speed with a coaster brake at free ride and put it on a 26". I bought a 7-speed Shimano with coaster brake for a 700c Velocity rim and I'm building a matching front wheel with a Shimano generator/disc brake. I just need to find the right frame. The actual reason for this email besides bragging about my new hubs, I recently acquired several rims, I'll go down and look at them, count holes see if theres any 700c 36 hole. I also have two vintage Sturmey Archer 3 speed coaster brake hubs, they are 40 hole, hard to find rims for. I would let one go for free if someone wants to use it, the thing is used, how much? I have no idea. So even free, you still need to build a wheel, spokes, rim, labor. Kinda why I bought a new one, I wanna ride a really nice bike and have some money to do so.
i'm looking for 700c 32 and 36 hole rims too... fyi
awesome... are they new? if so i'll take whichever is cheaper, if not i'll take the straighter one
M13II is new. I built it once for practice but it has never been rode. It has some storage/unexperienced-builder wear. $15? My contact details are in a PM.
my profile image is of lucca from chrono trigger. best game ever.
Oh, cool. Thanks.
depends on how much you are willing to spend.
i like Salsa Delgado rims. I have them on my commuter and they are awesome. Nice and wide for larger tires and very solid overall. There was some talk about cracks near the nipples, but I have not experienced anything like that.
I also like the Sun CR18. Similar profile and style to the Delgado, but I think has single eyelets vs. double.
and Mark, I have a new pair of 32h Open Sport rims. Let me know if you want them.
