For Sale: Fixed rear wheel tub & BMX - London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

bristlypioneer · 2nd September 2008

hello,

Like a muppet I bought a rear wheel on ebay thinking I'd got a bargain. Only once it arrived did I realise the rim is for a tub not clincher tyre.

below is the original ebay text about it.

I'm looking for £40 which was what it cost me including postage. The Hub is actually quite pretty, so if no one wants it I may break it apart to build a new wheel.

DOH!

This sprint wheel has a Le Tour hub with threads for a freewheel on one side and fixed wheel on the other, it is not a quick release wheel.

The rim is a Fiamme sprint rim.

The condition of the wheel is good.

-----------------
Also for sale is an old BMX I have, it's made by apollo and is nothing special, but I quite liked it. The headset is a bit loose though. It has a new seat post (fucking seatpost and a half) and saddle.

Looking for £50

I'd prefer not to have to post either, but can bring them along to various events, or they can be picked up in East London (Whitechapel / Limehouse)

Not to worry mate, I did exactly the same thing with a new wheelset from the States. You could still run a clincher on the front and the tub on the rear. I have grown to love my tubs though, even if they are a bugger to repair.

Sucks, although it does clearly say its a sprint (tub) rim

I say run a tub, or rebuild if its a nice hub

I guess I just didn't know the lingo.

I've never had a tub before, so I'll think about it, but it's mainly for commuting so repairing might not be much fun!

Hi, I'm new to the fixed scene and i'm trying to convert an old racer at the mo as a commuter bike. I'm looking for a 110mm flip flop hub, what size is this hub? I may be interested if it's the right size for me.
