Help me out with a price on a used rear wheel
Thinking of buying a used rear track/fixed wheel.
dura ace track hub[loose ball], fixed/fixed, includes one lockring, laced to mavic reflex clincher rim, hand built with double butted spokes.
What do ya'll think is a good price for this wheel?

Pretty snippy for a person asking for help.
It's my understanding that Dura Ace High Flange hubs are hard to come by these days, which would probably increase the wheel's price.

"High-flange hubs can make a wheel with slightly greater lateral strength than equivalent small-flange hubs."
-Sheldon Brown
But yeah, in terms of Dura Ace, I believe high flange hubs are just a lot more scarce.

as hp said, flange-size (trivial or not) makes a big difference in price. the hf ones are hard to find in this country, and there's a rumour that shimano is gonna stop (or has stopped) making them.
anyway, at a guess, i'd say you're looking at a $150 - $200 wheel.
(caveat: i'm hungover, and my brain is a little broken right now).

I had a wheel built with a high flange Suzue hub and a Mavic D-521 wheel for $150 new. That included Dt spokes and the build by the lbs wrench.
