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?

hf or lf?

why would something that trivial make a difference in price?




It's low flange, and the wheel color is all silver, just in case color would affect price.

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.

Sorry, I was under the impression that high flange offered no practical benefits, akin to a silver vs. black hub.

"High-flange hubs can make a wheel with slightly greater lateral strength than equivalent small-flange hubs."

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.

I thought that Suzue was trash?

They are not D/A for sure,but I have not had and previous troubles with them. Track hubs are getting kinda scarce right now.
