Cheap set of 700c wheels compatible with a 5/6/7 freewheel?
I'm looking for a new, cheap set of 700c wheels that are compatible with a 5/6/7 freewheel for an old Centurion Ironman bike I am working on. Seems like everything I find is the new freehub design, or the spacing is 135MM+ and my dropouts are 125MM. I know I can squeeze a 130MM in there.
I'd be willing to buy used if it's a good deal, otherwise I'd like to find some new wheels somewhere for <$100 if possible. They will be used for recreation and basic, short commuting trips. I prefer black, but I am not picky. Ideas? |

Niagra has them too........in my limited experience with these cheaper wheels, you will need to true them up a bit......... http://www.niagaracycle.com/product_...ucts_id=436537

Not sure if these will work for the OP I'm pretty sure the outer cog wont quit clear everything with most cassetes. But a very good price on wheelset htanks for the info I have been looking for a inexpensive new wheelset for one of my bikes.

No idea about the site, but front for $46 rear for $49 |
I bought Weinman AX25 through Amazon. Niagara fullfilled it but Amazon only charged 13 bucks for shipping as opposed to Niagara's 50 bucks for shipping. It was $23 for front and $25 bucks for rear. Cheap enough for you?

I keep seeing complaints about the time Niagra takes to ship.....any personal experiences?
Also, the black ones that were posted that are 130MM are 8/9/10, not 5/6/7. |
Why don't you go for used set? You can get something that is WAY nicer than what you will find online. Most of that stuff is generic cheap stuff.

Ever since, they seem to have bent over backward to be prompt. |
