Bikes: 1980s and 1990s steel: CyclePro, Nishiki, Schwinn, SR, Trek........

Have;

26" (ISO 559) rear MTB wheel, 36H, new Alex Adventurer rim, Wheelsmith DH13 spokes, very heavy duty, black disc (6 bolt) hub, black rim with brake surfaces machined, brass eyelets, 130mm or 135mm OLD (let me know how you want it set before I ship it), bolt on. Hub is a CL salvage, with new bearings and cones.

The 26" wheel was built up when we were considering purchasing a Mongoose AL Wanderer Tandem. After working out the upgrade costs, we found the Trek T50, and decided that was a much better deal. This wheel is a perfect upgrade for a Wanderer; or a Clyde's solo bike.

27" (ISO 630) 36H QR front alloy wheel, rebuilt with Wheelsmith SS14 spokes; hub and rim have less than 500 miles on hub, 0 miles since re-spoking.

27" (ISO 630) 36H rear, alloy rim, freewheel 5/6/7 S, 126mm OLD, rebuilt with Wheelsmith DH13 spokes on the drive (right) side and SS14 spokes on the non drive side; hub and rim have less than 300 miles.

The 27" wheels were purchased last year for my World Tourist. They are low end; quick release on the front, bolt on at the rear. It was not long before I had a spoke failure, then another. I found some vintage Suze-Araya 36H/40H sealed bearing wheels on ebay that have proven to be perfect and rugged. After the getting the Suze-Araya wheels, I rebuilt these with Wheelsmith spokes. I have been holding these as spares, but after more than 1500 commuting miles, I see no need to have spare wheels.

All of the wheels are true both radially and axially to better than .010" (0.25mm); have high tension and have been stress relieved.

Want:
* 9 speed capable Shimano rear derailleur with 36T cog capacity (on the cassette).
* 12/36T 9 speed cassette (Shimano HG61 or similar)
* 48H 145mm OLD 8/9S rear cassette hub with threading for drum brake or ISO (6 bolt) disc mounting.
* Specialized CROSSROADS ARMADILLO 700 x 38c tires (new or nearly new only)
