    Hi guys I have a set of spinergy carbon wheels and looking to sell them but have no clue the value of what I could get. Any ideas? I’m not familiar with them (they came on a bike I bought ) but have brand new Grand Prix tyres fitted. 10 speed

    Are they PBO 43mms?

    A pair appears to have sold on Adverts.ie for €400 six years ago

    I believe so yes

    If the back wheel won't accept an 11 speed cassette, you've lost a lot of potential buyers. Carbon wheels with aluminium braking surfaces have gone out of fashion, because full carbon wheels have improved greatly in the last few years.
    If the bearings and free hub are in good nick, if there's a reasonable amount of braking surface left and if they're running true, I reckon, you might get €250 for them, on a really good day.

    Thanks, there in good condition so I might just hold onto them as a spare set!

    They look great!

    ^^^^^^^^^
    I had forgotten about that.
    That would certainly improve your chances of selling them.
    But, they are quite lardy, I think, they're about 1850 grammes without skewers, which by modern standards, is quite heavy. That's about 300 grammes heavier than a pair of Zondas. Not really comparable, I know.

    Spent the morning reading up on these. Mixed reviews but i've never had carbons before and its sparked my retro interest. Would you consider €200 for them?

    mod note - as this thread is about selling wheels, and since offers have started coming in, i've moved it to the ads forum.

    I just popped them up online for an asking price of 300. Would be happy to meet in the middle at €250 if you're interested

    i'll stick at my original offer ........for now :)

    thread closed - if you're selling these wheels elsewhere they cannot have their own ad on the forum here.
