Subject: RE: Great price on some older HED race wheels 650c Funny, I actually went to check these out this weekend. The spokes were in crummy shape so the owner's let us take them to a bike shop (Continental in Hazel Park ) to evaluate whether or not they could be salvaged. There were a couple bent spokes, a couple that had already been replaced, and one that wasn't holding tension any more. The bike store estimated that the wheels were from the early 90's - no sealed bearings, and that it might cost around $100 or so to do the repairs. And then there's no guarantee of how long they'd be ridable.
We opted not to go through the hassle and maybe rely on more time in the saddle to get faster! |
