[RBW] WTB - 700c SS Wheelset for Quickbeam

Starting the search for a nice wheelset for my quickbeam. 700c, 120mm rear spacing. This is my only bike so I'd like to do it up right, maybe some Phil hubs. I'm a lightweight rider, only 130 lbs, so don't want anything too overkill on spoke count, probably 32h. Thanks! Sean -

[RBW] Re: Anyone heard the Silver rear hubs?

It's not so hard to strip a black T610 hub to the bare shell, remove the anodizing w/Easy Off HD oven cleaner, wet sand it with 400>800>1500 grit paper, polish it with some Simichrome on a buffing wheel, before rebuilding it with fresh grease. *The one important tip is to really tighten the 10

I'm 5'9" and have a PBH of 83cm. I spoke with Grant and Vince and they both suggested a 51 AHH for me. I do ride in a city, so a lot of stops at lights. The extra stand over does benefit the start and stop. YMMV. On Saturday, April 24, 2021 at 9:47:01 AM UTC-5 Robert Blunt wrote: > I am 5' 9"
