Hi People


I've recently picked up an indoor traininer for my mountain bike and I was wondering if anyone had a spare rear mountain bike wheel knocking about?  The trainer uses it's own quick release skewer and obviously works better with a slick tyre rather than a huge knobbley one so I was hoping to put together a spare rear wheel that I can swap over when wanting to use the trainer, instead of having to remove the QR, tyre and tube every time.  The bike I'm using it with has an 8 speed rear cassette but I can always pick up a cheap replacement if your wheel has a different cassette.


If anyone has one I'd be happy to take it off your hands for a modest fee!  I just don't want to have to fork out for a whole new wheel if possible.


Cheers

Matt

I've a spare I got off e-bay a few years ago and it just sits in the garage gathering dust.  Can't remember the spec.  I'll dig it out in morning and let you know.

Deore FH-M555 hub with Mavic X317 disc rim.  I've never had it on a bike so I'm not sure how true it is, freehub seems smooth by hand.  Odd few cosmetic scratches on rim.

Forgot to mention: no cassette though.

Sounds OK, how much do you want for it?

I'm pretty laid back on price. Say £20 but open to negotiation when you've seen it. I'm not going to be free until Friday night but pretty flexible after that. I'm in Clowne. Email me on garyh@wood-newton.com if you want a look.
