[FOR SALE] Steel 36" wheel with super-wide hub and cranks (UK)

[rob.northcott]

I've decided to upgrade my coker wheel, so the old one's up for sale. It's a steel rim (QuAx I think) with 12-gauge spokes and a UDC super-wide hub. I'll also throw in a pair of 152mm steel cranks. No tyre, I'm keeping that.

It's obviously an entry-level wheel but it's been fine for me over the last year and a half, staying very straight and true - the wide hub obviously helps there. It's done a couple of thousand miles of mixed road and light xc trails. Nice chrome, no rust.

The only bad point is that the rim is a bit narrow at the joint, making braking a bit bumpy. It's not bad if you brake hard on a slow steep hill, but it's not that nice braking lightly on the road with short cranks. If you're somewhere flat or don't want to use a brake it obviously won't be an issue, but it needs to be mentioned :). Saying that, I've ridden it like that for more than a year with a brake and it's only recently now I'm getting better at coker riding and wanting to play with short cranks that it's started to annoy me.

I haven't really got a price in mind, but it's obviously not worth a huge amount - make me an offer! Obviously if we can meet up somewhere it'll save you postage costs and make it even cheaper. I'm in Devon, between Plymouth and Exeter.

As I said, I hadn't really thought about it too much... The rim's not really worth much (although it's true and has served me well for a couple of years) but it's a good hub...
So, what about £30 + carriage?

If you're looking to build a whole unicycle, a friend of mine has just done some major upgrading so it's possible he may have a tyre and frame going spare. Hopefully I'll speak to him in the next couple of days and I'll pass on any information if you're interested.

EDIT: Oops, forgot about the cranks! Edited the price.

[rob.northcott]

Further to my last post - just spoken to my friend and he doesn't want to sell the tyre and frame I mentioned.

Wow i just saw the price of tyres i was thinking 30 but wow

[rob.northcott]

No problem mate.

Yes, 36" tyres are frighteningly expensive - that's why I'm keeping mine for the new wheel!

Bonjour! Je veux £30 (UKP) pour ma roue. C'est seulement le moyeu, la jante et les manivelles (pas de pneu).
Vous dites que vous occupez du transport - pouvez-vous le prendre? Je ne sais pas le prix pour l'envoyer à France.
Excusez mon Français faible s'il vous plaît :o

Don't be an arsehole :(
He asked me a question about my wheel in French. I'm not fluent in French by any means, but it would be rude to reply in English when I am capable of replying in the language of the questioner. If the question had been in, say, German or Norwegian, I wouldn't have been able to answer. In this case it happened I was able to understand and reply. The argument that this is an English forum doesn't really stand because in this case there is no need for other forum users to understand this conversation.

If you are interested in my wheel then make me an offer and you'll be next in line if salomon doesn't want it. Or if you know a cheap way to get a coker wheel to France from the UK then please let me know. Otherwise keep off the thread.

Ou habitez-vous en France? Je suis en sud-ouest Angleterre, près de Plymouth (bâteau à Roscoff).

You should edit your sig. And stfu too.

[Kyle_Destroyer]

I am apologizing for the stuff I said, boredom makes beasts of all of us.

edit my sig? While I respect 661 sponsors like Muniaddict, if you don't admit that some of the 661 riders are pretentious then you're just lying.

[rob.northcott]

Still for sale! I'm asking £30 plus carriage, including a pair of 152mm cranks.

no, being an idiot is.

[s0me0ner]

As I was reading this thread over and over again to see exactly where it all went wrong... It occured to me that Kyle had NOTHING to do with this conversation. Dude if you are to just jump in to a conversation at least have something constructive to say. At this point you're all probably thinking why is this dude posting then; well my friends I do not post often but when it comes to being patriotic, do not mess with my home country.
1 question still remains unanswered, What did french people ever do to YOU Kyle ?

[jamessd]

, What did french people ever do to YOU Kyle ?

Presumably speak french in the english forum.

[rob.northcott]

Still for sale. Somebody must want a cheap coker wheel. Make me an offer if you think £30 is too much (but no I'm not selling it for a fiver, the hub's worth more than that on its own).

I'm near Plymouth, and can easily get it to anywhere between there and Bristol to save you carriage.

Postage to anywhere in the UK would probably cost around £10.

Do you have any pictures of it?

It's a steel-rimmed coker wheel with UDC super-wide hub. I can take some pics later if you like though.

Ok on second thoughts don't worry. I will mention this to my friend Scott as I know he has been wanting to build up a coker for a while now.

[rob.northcott]

Cool. I'll try to get a decent picture of it though just to prove it isn't completely rusty or bent or anything. I can probably even show the funny bit round the join - you can see where the brake blocks have been skipping a bit, but it's really not that bad.

Rob

[rob.northcott]

Here are some pictures. There are a few scratches in the chrome that I've tried to show, but it's not rusty. One of the pictures is trying to show where the brake block mark has skipped over the slightly narrow bit at the joint.

Iff i bought this how do i pay you?

[rob.northcott]

I'll take a cheque, cash or PayPal. To keep transport costs low, we could ask Roger at UDC if he can get it picked up - it usually costs £9 I think.
Cheers,
Rob

[Jonny_H]

£30 plus carriage?
Iff so i can probly pay you tomorow with pay pal.

Sounds good to me. If you want it, PM me your address and I'll sort out the carriage - if Roger will put it on his account it'll be cheaper, so I'll ask him. I can do it from work, but it'll cost something like £15 rather than Roger's £9.

We'll sort the payment out when we know what the carriage cost is, but PayPal will be fine.

I'll throw the pair of cheap 150 cranks in if you want them, but I'm afraid I don't have a spare frame or tyre.

A frame should be fairly easy to come by, and they're not expensive even new. The best source of a cheap tyre would be to find somebody who's swapped to a Nightrider tyre and will sell you their part-used TA - they last for ever anyway, so you'll get a few thousand miles even from a used one. I'm too miserly to buy a new tyre and I'm keeping my TA, but lots of people have swapped.

Cheers,

Rob

Sold to Jonny :)
