Pulstar 8spd wheels

[andy.l]

Im having to let these go due to a 7spd set of wheels being available to me,they have never been on a bike and are in new condition.Theyre very light.

Unfortunately one of the spokes snapped at the nipple so is now missing,Peperbek from this forum 'MAY' be able to get a spare for it but if not it will need replacing,i bought them from him about a month ago on here for £135 so because of the spoke im asking £95 for them.

thanks for looking

interested - what are the rims?

get a black spoke, cut off the bit that would normally loop through a standard hub.

carefully remove a spoke from the pulstar hub and measure your replacement spoke to fit.

Carefully trim the replacement spoke down to size, smooth the trimmed end off.

Cut a new thread, place new spoke in wheel, add new nipples (he said nipples... ) and off you go...

well, something like that....

I've had to do it before - it got me home at least

Pulstar hubs - Supersmooth rotation!
- Wheelsmith labeled Mavic SUP rims (expressive labelled Wheelsmith as they initially were intended for sponsored riders)
- custom made Marwi spokes
- violet spoke nipples

Daily nudge,dont really want these to end up on e(vil)bay

Just as Andy said I have made a request at Marwi to send some replacement spokes in the correct size for this wheel. As soon as I have received them I will gladly mail them to the new owner (or Andy if you still have them).
Sapim also has these spokes in their productline up so it will be easy to order from them also.

How light are these & how much is the replacement spoke likely to be?

 

[andy.l]

Maybe someone else with these wheels could give more accurate figures but the front hub weighs 159g and rear 410g,then spokes and rim,not sure about spoke prices sorry

Interesting wheels but not quite what I was looking for
