    I'm interested in a front tri-spoke. Would consider clincher or tubular. A tyre suitable for track/road TT would be a bonus

    Any good to you?

    Takes a tubular tyre

    It doesn't free spin as good as other wheels, possibly new bearings needed and its slightly out of true.

    I think nearly all of these are slightly out of true. I have a clincher version of this wheel again maybe 2mm out of true in one place. Doesn't affect it though, rides very nicely.

    Easily usable on track if you just buy one of those conversion skewers:

    Decals were crap, so I replaced with a modern HED decal. Would consider parting with it for the right offer. Not sure whats on it, think its a Vittoria Open Corsa CX.

    Which type is it? There's a sticker near the fork in the pic which might have the details.
    Is it much over 1mm out of true?
    What price have you in mind?

    1mm is usually given as the 'acceptable' tolerance. Is it just the top of aluminium brake rim out of true or the full rim? Have you a price in mind?

    I will see if I can video it when mounted in a frame.
