Bid on a pair of 700c wheels for a retro hybrid build. They’re Mavic rims on TI glide hubs and were very reasonably priced and in lovely condition, little used.
Of course, in my haste to pick up a bargain I failed to notice they were tubular rims... :facepalm:
Plan A was to rebuild with clincher rims... thing is I then discovered the rear axle is 130mm, and the trek frame is 135mm...
No problem I thought, I have a couple of 130mm spaced early MTBs. Only thing is, the hubs are both 28 hole and I can’t find any 28 hole 26” rims...
So... what shall I do with them?
