Rear wheel wanted

    It's kinda hard to buy a rear wheel. Below a certain price point it seems cheaper (actually cheaper in price, not just in bargain-ousness) to buy a wheelset, but truth be told I have a surfeit of front wheels. I thought I had plenty of rears as well, but they're fancy rears. One of them is for my really good bike and needs those exalith pads, another is a carbon clincher and so needs carbon (compatible) pads, and the third is a powertap and I want to keep it for specific training and the turbo, not absent winter miles. And I'm stuck now that my brand new Zonda is gone back for repair, which has made me realise I don't have a spare rear wheel.

    Long story short.

    Anyone got one for sale?

    I have a set of wheels here that might suit alright
    They are mavic cxp22 rims ( silver colour) - very little wear
    laced to be- one ( as in the bike brand) hubs
    The are smooth as hell and seem fairly sturdy to me..
    The rear needs the smallest of turns of a spoke key - and they're tip top.

    Without skewers I'd be happy to swap them for the mechs & cassettes

    Even if u don't need the front you'd be better to take as you can knock on then when your zonda returns from its mid term in Milan
