    Due to current circumstances I will not be getting any use from these in the near future.
    Powertap wheelset
    Rear wheel has approx 500 km on it (if I check back my records I can get an exact figure). Its a powertap SLC+(ceramic bearings) with a Shimano freehub on a mavic open pro rim with DT swiss spokes. (handbuilt by clif). ANT+ compatible, mint condition and running perfectly.
    Front wheel has only about 250 km on it since it was built, Mavic open pro rim on a new series shimano Ultegra 6800 hub and DT swiss spokes (handbuilt as well).

    Even leaving aside the powertap these are an absolutely bomb-proof set of wheels.

    Includes tool for removing hub cover and spare batteries. Will also include the book 'Training and racing with a powermeter' by Allen and Coggan.

    Looking for e650

    A couple of questions.
    How many spokes font and rear?
    How much for rear only?
    Any idea of the weight?

    Cheers.

    Rims are 32 spoke front and rear. I am looking to sell as a set as I have no use for a single front wheel. I am not sure of weight, I would say about 1750g but I will try and get them on some scales.

    one last question, Is the warranty up on the hub? what year did you buy it?
    Thanks.

    that's a bargain with the ceramic hubs and quality build parts. If I had money I would be all over these.

    I bought the rear wheel/powertap as new on 5/1/2014. I do not have the original warranty docs as hub was purchased separately. I am not sure how the warranty would transfer though. Front wheel was built up around May 2014.
    Due to health issues this year I have put very little mileage into them.

    Offer 400 Rear Wheel

    Offer 400 Rear Wheel

    Thanks for the offer but I am looking for a bit more, I would also rather sell as a pair as I have no need for a single wheel.

    They are as robust a set of wheels as you can have and will easily stand up to any winter training. I will not be back on the bike until early next year and then would not be using power measurement for a good while.

    Here is a link to a current listing for the hub. http://www.ebay.com/itm/PowerTap-SLC-Ceramic-32-Hole-Silver-Shimano-Hub-/360379923605

    thanks for getting back to me, joxers bid is a high as I was prepared to go for the rear. I have now need for another front wheel.
    I would go higher if I was sure I could access support from powertap.

    Fair enough. You could always try selling the front separately?

    That's a very good price for a great set of training wheels. Perfect for winter training with power. Best of luck with the sale

    Lets not carried away, it is a slc hub. I think the offer is fair and I will be surprised if the rear goes for much more than the current offer.

    The OP has made it clear they are selling as a set, so continuing to discuss a price for the rear wheel is pointless. If the OP changes their mind they can update the thread accordingly


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,100 ✭✭✭clog


    Wheels still available. Price drop to e620.

    Will also include pair of wheel bags as pictured and 11-28 ultegra cassette (new with wheel so only appx 500km on it).

    Wheels in excellent condition (see pics).

    where are you based? thinking about this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,100 ✭✭✭clog


    I'm in South Wicklow/North Wexford area but have no problem posting and will include tracked and insured postage costs in asking price.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7 louieder


    Offer €575 for the wheel set and can pick up today or tomorrow


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,100 ✭✭✭clog


    I will accept that.
