With much regret I am going to move on these awesome wheels, they just don't go on anything I have, or hope to have.
Pair of silver Machine Tech hubs, Hollow Core front, Power claw rear, both 32 hole, laced with DT spokes via black alloy nipples to Ritchey Vantage Pro rims.
Rear hub is laced radial non-drive side, 3 cross drive side, front is radially laced.
Hubs were used but in excellent condition when built, the rims were NOS, the spokes and nipples were new, they have done about 250 miles since built. Both wheels are dead true, the front rolls smoothly without any notching or rumbling, the rear rolls and rolls, but does have a rumble. The hubs are rebuildable with sealed cartridge units. The 'Power claw' freehub is in good condition and engages well, it is a silent one, disconcertingly so. The freehub body is alloy and has a couple of little notches from a cassette (and single cog as I used it - but a wide based one), a cassette goes on and off smoothly.
Cosmetiacally they look great, a few small marks as to be expected, and the 'Vantage Pro' sticker from the front rim has inexplicably disappeared, the rims are still flat with no concavity as per Anthony's rim guage table (TM).
Overall a very rare, lightweight, slightly different mid 90s wheelset for the retro-grouch who has tired of M900 and Ringle.
£140 SOLD
