Sure Lee.
They came off ebay. Note, I am no wheel expert. I am guessing I may have 300 miles or so on them. For my experiment with 650b they are working well. I think he accepted $10 less which covered part of shipping so I don't have much invested into my test but overall they seem decent enough The rims are Zac19 36 hole and the hub shells have no labels but look very similar to what I have seen labeled Parallax / Alivio / Acera. The bearings seemed way too tight so I opened them up and added a bit of grease and adjusted them where they spin nicely. They also currently spin true. I am unsure about longevity on wheels at this price point. I measured the outside width at 23mm. I guess the 19m he list is the inside width. I do not see 36 spoke wheels listed currently. You might send the seller a message to inquire when he expects more. Clicking on new listing links directed me to 28 spoke wheels. Here's his description: Silver 650B / 27.5 wheels, 130mm rear, 100mm front, double walled aluminum alloy rims, 1"wide, 7/ 8/9 Speed, ( I can provide for free an adapter to convert wheel to 7 speed, just ask), 36 DT IND silver spokes, Alloy hubs, quick release skewers included, Schrader valve drilling, ERTRO 584 x 19mm http://www.ebay.com/itm/WHEELSET-650B-26-x-1-1-2-27-5-SLVR-130MM-7-8-9-SPD-WEI-ZAC19-36-H-/252184203241?nma=true&si=k%252BCYE%252BPjmTBrli9puKzslmwV6Uc%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Safe pedaling, Paul in Dallas ----------------------------------- Lee Haines 10:39 AM (1 hour ago) Paul, Can you divulge the source of this budget 650b wheelset? I have 2 mid '80s schwinn travellers ('86 in black and '88 in teal/white fade). I've converted the '86 to 700 x 37 paselas which fit but make fenders nothing but a pipe dream. I'm considering converting the '88 to 650b. thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
