FYI, I'm 205 Strong 500TT Sprinter 55yo, the rest is a work in progress.

The price is right but I would need to change the skewer and Zipp has this one





Track Front Skewer


Zipp®’s stainless steel front track skewer replaces your quick release skewer when it’s time to bring your speed weaponry from the road to the track. Tighten it down with a 5 mm Allen key and feel secure on the steepest banking.

Shaft diameter: 4.85 mm

Length: 120 mm

Weight: 34 g

Max torque 55 lb/in or 6.2Nm

Any thoughts on the wheel AND ESPECIALLY the Adapter or would I be Better with a Solid Axle conversion by my LBS?

Thanks Robert
