Mountain Biking - wheelset

Im thinking of getting a new wheelset for my bike as after years of use the SPINS seem to be slightly "wobbley" :( Does anyone have a decent set for trade? :)

What do you want to trade in return for a new wheelset for your bike?

some wobbley Spins i guess

some wobbley Spins i guess

you guessed incorrectly.

Well?

Well?

What type of wheels do you have? What are you looking to get for them?

Now that bike sure is a blast from the past.

I wanted to know what you were offering.

FACT: In 1996 I would have sold my soul for a bike like that.

Its a 98 ;)

Im not trying to be an ass, I just find it useless to offer something to someone and I dont even know what they need or if they have a wheelset ;) If someone has a wheelset we can talk business. :thumb: also, when I say "wobbley" its a very slight wobble in the front wheel, bothers ME a bit when I pic up speed. My buddy rode the bike and, in his words, thought "Im over reacting to a small almost non-exsistant problem"

Well, I guess you guys dont have anything for me :( Guess Ill have to buy a set :twitchy: Thanks anyways :rolleyes:

I had a mavic 231 on a 1996 syncros hub that I just scrapped a few years ago. Pity.

I'd find a way to fix the spins.

This bike seems like a period piece, a modern wheelset would just look wrong.

They've been that way since they were new, you just didn't notice until now. Every set of Spin wheels I've ever seen were always slightly out of true, and there's no fix for that.

Were you looking for someone with a new set of I9s looking to trade them for a wobbly set of spins? I think Gasrto can help you out.

I never mentioned trading the SPINS for anything? ;) ghettocruiser, Im going to leave it as is, it is period correct...well maybe a few little peices are newer :D Im glad you mentioned it as I was going to the LBS tomorrow to look at a set :twitchy: Im going to take her out on a spin (no pun intended!) Sunday morning.

I have a set of Hope Pro II's laced to DT EX5.1d's that I'd trade you for a set of Transition Revolutions.

They would work quite nicely with your linear pull brakes.

Wow, I guess you didn't. My mistake.

why not try to get a new set of Spins?

There's a company that is making wheels using the old Spin molds. I can't think of the name, but I saw their exhibit at Interbike.

Dude! If you find out whos selling them please let me know! ;) I'll be searching till then. Thanks much :thumb:

I can't remeber the name of the company, but Dirty Dog MTB Inc. used them to display their stuff . If you contact them, they might be able to help you out.
