Hey everybody, I would like help with the following problem:

I've got a stock Fuji track bike (formula fixed/free to alexrim). I want to replace the back wheel with my Surly fixed/fixed to OpenPro wheel, which I understand is better than the wheel I'm currently using. Is this true, or at least not a downgrade?

The stock wheel only has about 50 miles on it. What would be a reasonable asking price to sell it off on CL/eBay?

Bump.

I deleted the wrench question, as I can just bring the wheel to the shop and buy the right wrenches. However, any help pricing the stock wheel? Please?

Start the bid at $100. Do a buy it now price at $150.

I just sold the wheelset from my Windsor Hour (same as yours) on Boston CL for $75

They went in a day. I probably could have gone $100 for both, maybe.

$150 gets people a quality wheelset from Bicyclewheels.com, so why would they buy yours for a similar price?

I'd say try $50. The stock wheels are no great shakes. They're OK, but you can get a similar set off of Bike Island for like $89.

damn. seventy-five bones?

my lbs tried to sell me the SAME wheelset, actually taken off one of the dudes who works there's windsor hour. they tried to get a buck fifty for them. screw that.

you'd be surprised how much kids will pay for just a fixed rear wheel, no hassle, just to get riding. i'd say try for around sixty or seventy-five. you may be surprised.

There was abit of a feeding frenzy at $75. I should have gone higher, but what the heck? My new wheelset was $160, so I felt OK with letting the old ones go for cheap.

Was that with or without cog and lockring? I'd be selling mine bare, as I want to keep the cog and lockring for my fixed/fixed wheel.

I got my rear wheel (in Feb of '05) at the Monstertrack swap meet. $25 for a surly fixed/fixed laced to a Mavic MA3, with a semi decent half used tire mounted. It has never needed truing once and has had the living crap beat out of it.

So I would say anything over $50 for your rear would enter rip off territory. Could you get more? Probably. However, make a few less and pass it on to someone that wants it. Thats better for everyone.

Oh and mine came with a 16 tooth DA cog and lockring mounted....

My wheelset came with the brandy new Kenda SuperCheeese 700x23 tires, tubes and the 15T stamped cog and lockring that came on my new wheelset.

Best deal in Boston.

how can you say that anything over fifty is a ripoff?
you just got a steal with your deal.

do whatever you want though. the economy will not crumble.

i sold a crappy wheelset with a bend for 25 bucks on craigslist.


it sold in 15 minutes.

i'd ask 100 and see if anyone bikes

2005 was a much different time.

definitely a great upgrade. the mavic open pros are very light, i'm sure lighter than the alex rims. the surly hub will last you forever as well. i'd expect $80-100 for a wheelset like that, but that depends on your market; a friend recently got $160 for a set of moderately used track wheels that they're slapping on the new bianchi pistas.
