To keep this out of the BA thread:

Here is the original BA

Wheels were here:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252487861394?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I mailed the seller and he came back to me this morning and said UPS had not collected the wheels but he got onto them and they collected them this morning only so he says they are shipped.

Update: Got a call from addresspal and they have my over sized parcel and it will be available for me to collect Friday.

Of course, I won't have a bike to try them until early Sept as waiting on canyon.

My best bargain ever :D:D:D

cunavalos

I wont be able to collect mine until Monday week as i am on holidays.

I am almost disappointed i didn't order more,(I ordered two sets so the €25 oversize fee is not as bad) Definitely still a bargain.

jamesd

Did both wheels come in the one box ?

Just my father in law is collecting mine and he said "oh there is 2 wheels so the postman said he will drop them in an hour"

Alek

Yes, the original 3T product box.

I am almost disappointed i didn't order more

My thoughts :pac:

Kramer

Yes, both wheels in one box.



Thanks OP :-)

jamesd

Got my collected too.

jamesd

Did it come with a shimano free hub?

Alek

looks like Shimano to me (shallow splines, one gap wider?)

wanderer 22

Just picked up mine; nice one OP.

I don't need these, will never need them and I'm disappointed, I didn't buy a set of them. Seems to be the bargain of the century.

I think these are CX/Disc brake wheels.

They better be! I nearly pulled the trigger and then noticed!

Jesus lucky then or we could have just bought a new bike for them!

Alek

Gosh, these rims are the hardest I had to get GP4000S on....

jamesd

Seems to be a very loud freehub in them

Alek

Thats good or bad? Whats the general consensus ?

(it is loud alright!)

Personal preference - I like loud. Wheels appear very good I think. Don't have a bike to use them on for another few weeks but they seem nice and light and good quality.

Yeah yeah...so you had time to get off the bike and take a pic before I caught up :pac:

Alek

Careful now guys! Coming back from work (60k on the wheels) I felt the front is going a little funny / wobbly. At home I noticed that the wheel has like 3mm play left-right in the bearings!

Before this happens to you, make sure this screw its a bit tighter than how it came:



I haven't tightened this element on the rear as it is covered by the rotor, but will soon.

Technically its not really dangerous, but will wreck your bearings in a short while if you don't notice.

f***ing hell

You're really rubbing it in now.

I think i may have misplaced one of the QR adapters for the rear hub.
Any chance someone is using the wheels with a through axle and doesn't need the QR adapters?
Looking at the package contents I think it's WH-RDISC-8-C228

Hi guys

I have a set of these wheels (actually bought, unused from one of the Boardsies a few years ago)
They sat in my attic until this year , when Ive been using them for cx racing

Only have 4 races on them, - then last night doing hill intervals, the rear free hub crapped itself....

Just wondering if anyone else has had problems with these wheels, from that ebay seller?

Thinking maybe they are copies - there's no way the freehub should fail like that after a few spins...
