700c coaster brake wheelset!
 

hey there!

scored some oldschool track frames the other day, thinking about building a coaster brake beater bike!

anyone know of some places that have good deals on 700c coaster brake wheelsets?

yes i know i should just google it...which i have. but then i got lazy and decided might as well try here lol. thanks in advance for any help!

Hey there is the new site that is really helpful with this: www.google.com

thats hilarious! would have been even funnier if you used http://lmgtfy.com/

oh btw from original post:
"yes i know i should just google it...which i have. but then i got lazy and decided might as well try here lol"



so yah, anyone with some helpful direction? i figure at least one of you has spent time researching this, so thought i might as well rack your brain about it.

go to ebay and type "700c coaster" into the search engine turns up several results for wheelsets, colored rims and all.

hmm yes i have tried that. thanks tho...

ok well i was just taking a shot in the dark, thought maybe someone might know of some crazy super deals on them on some super special hidden website or something lol....yah i dunno what i was thinking. but anywho, it seems the cheapest way to go is either:

A) weinmann dp18s
130 plus 30 shipping...

or

B) coasties (http://coasti.es)
140 plus 25 shipping


so 160 for weinmanns, 165 for coasties.
anyone have experience with the coasties? they say "deep V" rims....im assuming velocities, but hey dont necessarily say that. is "deep V" an actual model name from velocity or is that a throw around phrase?

anywho if coasties are velocity, i would prefer paying 5 dollars more for velocity over weinmanns.



but if anyone has any links for weinmann coaster brake wheelsets for cheaper than ive found then please let me know ;p

Deep V is a type of rim. It is the internal shape of the wall.

harris cyclery does a 700 coaster brake with a cr18 rim for $69 and about $20-25 shipping



coasties seems like a pretty good deal




coaster brakes are a lot of fun

VeloMine has a wheelset for $125, Weinmann DP18 laced a coaster hub.

You could build your own...

Just to reiterate... If it says "Deep V" but not "Velocity", then it is almost certainly not made by Velocity.

If you do buy a coaster wheel, get it home and open it up. Degrease it. The entire thing. Then pack it all back up with extreme pressure bearing grease (grey moly-lithium grease). You'll be happy.

thanx vixtor! so far im liking this option....weinmann dp18s for 125 + 21 shipping to here in california...

146 total for weinmann's seems to be the best deal so far....

im going 2 check out the harris cyclery set now, thanx jj

Those velomine wheels have a shimano coaster. They react very well to loose balling. Literally you add a couple extra bearings and chuck the cages. Spins very nicely.

Is nobody else interested in those frames?

Check the bay area craigslist. There's always a post for deep v coaster brake wheelsets for sale in Oakland. I think it's like 130 if I can remember correctly.
