How much are my wheels worth? stans/pro2s

Black pro 2 hubs on stans 355 rims (hopehoops)
Hubs are bang on, front rim is in good nick, rear has 2 dints in it that have been straightened and needs truing – 2-3mm out.
They have had a years use (2-3 times per week in the peaks)

£160-200

want em 😉

I’m guessing they’re baby wheels [26″] so no 🙂

Given I got Flow Hope Hoops for £245 new I suspect uplink has over estimated.

where did you get flows etc for £245? did that inc rim tape and valves?

front 60-70ish
rear 80-100ish, depending on the dings

so 160 all in is close I’d say

reggie – that sound slike what i was thinking (£165 posted or so)

Trying to get some cash for wider flows

Well…………

I sold 2 sets of hoops on 355s and 1 set of ProIIs on Arches earlier this year and that was the price range I got

Prices could’ve bombed I guess

One set I sold here, the others on eBay

From my local bike shop. But then I have a good relationship there. And it was a year ago. Tape and valves were on top of that.

so no cheaper than on ebay etc now then

York Bike outlet and Noahs always seem to be keen on prices with Hoops

Given I got Flow Hope Hoops for £225 new I suspect uplink has over estimated. 😉

I must have a better relationship. 😉

bruneep – spill, whereand when was this?

mates rates from someone who has a shop.

so not a true valuation/cost then

true cost to me

trololololol

if you rebuilt them yourself would it be worth flogging just the rims to fund new ones? (dunno if erd’s are the same or not but you may well get away with same spokes depending on what length they are built with)

I had thought that Julian but i think flow rims are about £60 each plus £12 for tape – £132 all in plus a wheel build x 2 (never built wheels before!!)

anyone know any different? How easy is it to swap rims over and get the correct tension etc?
Will 355 spokes fit flow rims?

Rob, if you’ve never built wheels before i wouldn’t start with stans! Allegedly they are easier to overtension (although I may be confusing myself with whati read about olympics rather than all stans rims).

355 erd is 540mm, it is 536mm for flow so at worst your spokes might be a smidge too long (somewhere between 1 and 2 mm given the angle the spokes leave the hub flange, geometry fans) It depends how much of the spoke is already in the nipple on your current build, the last thing you want is your rim tape getting pierced by too much spoke protruding from the back of the nipple. The rim swap bit is easy if time consuming (tape the new rim to the old wheel and swap the spokes over one side of the hub at a time), but for £120 of new rims I would be getting someone a bit experienced to do them as the lacing/rim swap is just the easy bit….

there is a guy on here called cruzheckler who is looking for some new wheels, you should sell them to him….

selling them then and buy new for all this faff!!
