M231 wheels! rear XTR M900, XT M732! front 2 XT M730, 1 M750

Hey all!

Second ad posting of the moment, this one for wheels!

See here for my P2 fork sale!

As with that sale, please ask if you would like another photo of anything, or if you have any questions or if you think I'm asking too much (or too little!) for something!

Prices include postage within the UK. Our little village post office is open every weekday except Thursday. Please understand that it may take up to a week (maybe just over in exceptional circumstances!) from my receiving payment to my getting stuff in the post to you - our new baby seems to eat most of our time! I'll keep buyers informed.

I'm (really!) happy to receive offers for the bits, but may ask you to be a bit patient as I wait to see if anybody else will offer asking price.

The wheels are being sold without tyres or tubes - tyres are in the photos just because I didn't think about it when taking the pictures!

Up for sale are:

(that should be an arrow!) GONE! 2 x Shimano XT M730 front hubs on 32 hole Mavic 231 rims. Both in good condition with original QR skewers. The rubber ring on the non-lever side of each skewer is cracked. The printing on both hubs is almost totally worn away. On one hub you can (under bright halogen light) see a sort of impression where the words Shimano, Deore, XT and M730 used to be... it's strange and there was clearly other printing now totally gone. On the other hub you can make out (again, faintly and under bright light) the Deore and XT, but the rest is pretty much gone. The speedo clip thing seen on one of the hubs in the pictures will not be included. Both are in lovely condition. £35 each

Shimano XT HB-M750 on 36 hole Mavic X517 SUP... relatively old-school bomb-proof?! This wheel has probably under a hundred miles on it - great condition (though I accept not really all that vintage - I'd probably be shot down in flames on VRC!). Original skewer. One of the rubber hub flanges has a maybe 2mm split. £35

Shimano Deore XT SH-M732 hub on 32 hole Mavic M231. I've always liked this hub! Like all the others, this wheel is in good condition. Original QR skewer - like the ones on the front hubs, the rubber ring on the non-lever side is cracking up. £45

sold @ £75 with a M730 front!":2w72h895 said:

:!: Woot! Shimano XTR FH-M900 hub on a (what else?) 32 hole Mavic M231 ! At a guess (don't hold me to it!), the replacement cassette on this accounts for 60% of the wheel weight! Not sure if the skewer is original or not. The lever is metal without a rubber cover (unlike the older XT ones above) while the other end does have a rubber ring that isn't cracked. I'm sure someone here will know, and I will update the ad if told. Printing on the hub is totally sharp. At a guess, this was someone's race wheel and got very (very!) little use. £80? (I'm making this up as I go along, sorry... :? )... It (now) has no cassette on it but you can have the old one if you want!

Timbuks sold @ £37":2w72h895 said:

If you're interested in tyres, I have a set of Panaracer Timbuk II's to go, undecided about the rest. The Panaracers have been mounted but never used - turns out I'm not about making things look showroom as much as I am about fitting fat tires! They're some of the new Timbuk's from First Flight Bikes - a cousin-in-law brought them over me a year or two back.

Photos!

XT M730







XT M730 that is almost (but still not really) readable...







XT M750









XT M732

Now with photos! Note that the Mavic label is perfectly attached to the rim with no bubbles or peeling, it's just got water on it in the photo. These photos turned out like this because the camera was on the wrong setting - you still get an idea of how nice this is, I think - if in any doubt, please ask! Spokes on drive side feel like a chain has gone into them once, they are very slightly notched about 1cm from the spoke holes.

Printing on hub body is pretty good. There is a fine scratch through the E of DEORE and the 14G is not totally solid. The horizontal line seen in the photo above the printing is a reflected spoke. This wheel has no cassette on it but you can have the old one if you want!









XTR M900 (with piecatcher!)









Thanks for looking!

[removed]

The M900 XTR Q/R is the correct one and original to the hub
I would strongly advise removing the cassette as 1) it's 7 speed and it should be 8 speed on the M900. 2) It's a pile of shite and shipping will be cheaper without it 3) Someone may want a 7 speed cheapo cassette.

Thanks for that, much appreciated - it always seemed a nice QR to me!

I'll buy the things I need to remove a cassette today (chainwhip and pincers perhaps? quick visit to Park Tools I think)... also, just to emphasise in a post without quite as much text as my first , very open to offers!

Cheers
