Overstock rims.

Every shop owner knows the dilemma--you score a good deal on a certain oddball item, but you have to order XX of them to get the good-guy pricing. You hem and haw and ultimately pull the trigger.

But then, three years later, you look at the shelf and you still have the dregs of that deal hanging about. What to do?

Sale time.

These rims are all BRAND SPANKIN' NEW. Never been laced, never had a tire on 'em. Unless otherwise noted they are 32h rims.

Price indicated is *BELOW* wholesale pricing, *and* includes UPS Ground shipping to the lower 48.

First come, first served, and when they're gone, well...

1) Velocity VXC rims in bubble gum pink powdercoat. ~465g/rim.



$60 shipped.

2) Bontrager Maverick. Silver, uneyeletted, on-center drilled. 24mm wide, machined braking surface, welded seam. Great rims if rim-brakes are your thing. Pretty sure these are ~460g/rim.



$40 shipped.

3) Bontrager Maverick. Silver, eyeletted, off-center drilled (OSB). 24mm wide, machined braking surface, welded seam. Great rims if rim-brakes are your thing, or the OSB feature helps to balance the spoke tension on disc brake wheels. Pretty sure these are ~480g/rim.



$50 shipped.

4) A single WTB SpeedDisc 29 rim. 24mm wide, eyeletted, pinned seam.



$29 shipped. That's basically a free rim because the shipping will be almost $25...

5) Sun Rims CR18 in *36h*. Pinned seam, no eyelets, double wall rim. Rim-brake compatible, but they are black ano'd all the way around for the stealth look.



$35 shipped.

6) Sun Rims DS-2. Disc specific, eyeletted, pinned seam, 24mm wide.



$44 shipped.

7) IRD Cadence road rims. 20mm width, 380g per rim, eyelets, machined braking surface. Many low-budget MTB racer types still eschew the high $ Stans rims and use these instead.



$45 shipped.

No lowball offers--I'm already losing $ on these!

IGH package.

It's no secret that Internal Gear Hubs (IGH) have gained a cult following the last several years. Rohloff and Nexus have gained the lion's share of the notoriety, the former on the high end and the latter a bit below middle-of-the-road. For the past ~2 years the bulk of the IGH wheels I've built have used the Shimano Alfine hub. Far less expensive than a Rohloff, far more impressive than a Nexus. They aren't perfect for every application (what *one* hub ever is?) but they have a lot going for them.

For sale here is a wheelset built around an Alfine rear hub and a Shimano XT front hub.






Both use the Shimano Centerlock standard for brakes. Both are black. Both are laced to Stans Flow rims (in, you guessed it, black) with DT Competition butted spokes and DT Prolock alloy nips. All black.

Stans yellow tape and valves are already installed, and included in the price.


Also included is your choice of the Shimano Rapidfire


or twist shifter.


As well as one 22t cog.


Lastly, this package comes with the entire Alfine small parts kit: includes non-turn washers for vertical dropouts (8R/8L) & horizontal dropouts (6R/6L), cap nuts, cog snap-ring & CJ-8S20 cassette joint.


At MSRP this is a ~$775 package.

Including shipping/insurance to anywhere in the continental US, I'm offering this package for $606. You just need to send an email telling me your shifter choice, and I'll get 'em boxed up and shipped out.

AK, HI, or Canadia? Fine, it'll just be a bit more for shipping.

Payment is by PayPal.

Late-winter wheel specials.

1) Front wheel only. No-name front 6-bolt disc hub, Rigida ZAC 19 rim, straight gauge spokes and brass nips. Came stock on my commuter--ridden about 10 miles before I replaced it.


Like new condition, includes skewer.

$65 shipped.

2) Chris King hubs in brown, 36h, laced to Salsa Gordo's.


Front hub is 20mm thru, rear is 12 x 150 thru.


Spokes are DT Alpine 3, nips are DT Prolock alloy. This set was ridden for about two months on my personal bike. Thus, they are scratched in many places from incidental contact with trailside rocks.

No dents, no flat spots, just scratches and a little dust. Hubs are like-new. $550 shipped.

3) Front wheel ONLY. DT Swiss FR front hub, 32h, black. Bontrager Duster disc OSB TLR (Tubeless Ready) rim, 32h, black. Laced with butted DT Comps and DT Prolock alloy nips. New, unridden. Includes Bontrager TLR strip and valve for ease of tubeless use.


Hub is set up for a standard QR, but can be easily converted (without tools, you just need to pop the end caps off and snap a new set on) to 9mm, 15mm, or 20mm. Conversion end caps are NOT included in the price.

MSRP on this wheel is $400+. Last year's model hub means I'm blowing it out cheap--$240 shipped.

All prices include UPS Ground shipping and insurance, to the lower 48 only. Canada or AK? Sure, but shipping will be higher.

Welcome!

I've been using blogger to share daily ride pictures, road trip reports and random musings for the past year+. In that time I've occasionally thought to post product specials for potential consumers but it just hasn't seemed appropriate. Perhaps I'm being naive but I'd like to believe that people read the LM29 blog for the content, not in hopes of finding a deal on a geegaw.

With that said, the *entire* purpose of this blog will be to list and sell excess inventory from the shop. The bulk of the product will be wheel related: Expect to see demo or lightly used 29" wheels, nekkid 700c rims, 29" tires (new, used, and maybe excess prototypes), tubes, and the like. In rare instances there will be demo bikes--and almost always these will be 29" Lenz full suspension offerings.

Anyhoo--use it, or not, as you see fit.

Cheers,

MC
