Front Wheel comprising of:

Shimano Deore XT HB-M738 - polished
Mavic 221 UB 32 hole rim - silver
DT Swiss stainless spokes

£5 + P&P

The hub feels fairly smooth with only minor wobble on the rim - heavy wear to the braking surface as shown. QR not XT. The hub has condensation on in the photo hence looks a bit cack.

OK, well let it run like this for a while, but if nobody wants it as a wheel, I'll give you £7.50 posted for the hub!

I tried to measure the rim from your photo and to be honest it doesn't look all that bad, maybe 1mm concave. I think digital photography often makes things look worse than they are. It ought to be fine for a pub/shopping bike if anybody needs one. Nevertheless, I don't build wheels with rims that far gone, so it wouldn't be any use to me and there doesn't seem much point in carting it across the country just for me to have to dispose of it. I would have bought the spokes off you if they were butted and still on the hub, but I don't build with straight gauge, so....

You're doing a fine job for the community IMO.
