It was worth a try. Won a large Surly KM frame/fork in an alleycat and what I really need is a Shim/SRAM 10 speed group.
YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT.

I wish I'd never sold my group...I have some shimano airlines, does that count?
Be quick! Dealing with a sketchy guy on eBay and his partial 7800 group I just "bought", but haven't bought yet, owing to some sketchy payment requests.I think I've still got at least most of an Ult. 6600 group in a box. Lemme look.
Don't want the KM frame though.
I meant my Airlines group.Be quick! Dealing with a sketchy guy on eBay and his partial 7800 group I just "bought", but haven't bought yet, owing to some sketchy payment requests.
Guess I'll pay the man and see what happens...I love 7800. Too bad it doesn't come with cranks. My Truvativ Roleurs flex as much as the Verazzano Narrows bridge when I get up and stomp on them.I meant my Airlines group.
I'm never selling my 7800 groups. Unless they come out with 7901 that fixes the terrible 7900 hoods. Oh wait, they did, it's called Di2...
Too bad indeed...7800 cranks rule hard.Guess I'll pay the man and see what happens...I love 7800. Too bad it doesn't come with cranks. My Truvativ Roleurs flex as much as the Verazzano Narrows bridge when I get up and stomp on them.
SCORE!Surly gone, 7800 group acquired for exact same price. Today is a win.
I've come into possession of a Fuji Team Pro carbon 54...
WHO'S GOT WHEELZ?!
/shill shill
Sub-1600gm clincher (though tubs if tires are included) and stiff enough to put up with me railing corners in crits.What kind you want?
Alley.Blue~ didn't know you raced btw. What cat?
Clear your PMs, noob!If you can hang with cat2's you should get out and race. You should lap the field in a 5's race. Do that a couple of times and they will upgrade you to a four quickly.
What did they go for?My wheelquest continues...Almost landed a Zipp 404/303 combo on eBay for $500, but got sniped. Dammit.
515.What did they go for?
There's that. I need to worm my way into Edge or Reynolds, seeing as they're both local to me.Zipps are fine and dandy but they do break if you look at them wrong
Dude, do you have lazer beams for eyes or something? We sell a couple dozen pairs a year, and the only ones I've seen fail (other than a broken spoke once in a while) had a serious traumatic incident. Like getting hit by a car. Or crashed hard in a crit.Zipps are fine and dandy but they do break if you look at them wrong
I broke a set racing cross...but that was the older style. I had a set of the new 404s last season and didn't have issues.Dude, do you have lazer beams for eyes or something?

Warranted 3 wheels at my shop this year. Not saying they're bad, but they could be construed as "fragile" in some situations.Dude, do you have lazer beams for eyes or something?

Still have that pair you're selling on RBR? At least, I think that's you, if memory serves correctlyI broke a set racing cross...but that was the older style. I had a set of the new 404s last season and didn't have issues.
I've heard definite mixed reviews about Zipps. I think I'd rather go with Edge or Reynolds, solely because warranty would be stupid easy if I were to break them.Warranted 3 wheels at my shop this year. Not saying they're bad, but they could be construed as "fragile" in some situations.
Oh yeah - does Zipp do crash replacement on the rims at all? Might've just snagged some 303s that are out of warranty timeframe.Warranted 3 wheels at my shop this year. Not saying they're bad, but they could be construed as "fragile" in some situations.
Closer to 400 once it's built.Crash replacement IIRC is around 300 per rim? I may be thinking of something else tho

The DV 46s are great, but for my money I'd just do Assaults/ Strikes. Most of the performance for a good bit less.Ouch. Gotta pay to play, I guess. Waiting to hear back about a set of Reynolds DV46, but I think I might get the 303s if that doesn't work out.
I'm doing serious waffling with this wheel decision.
It's a used set, cheaper than the Assaults are new. Kicking myself for not buying a near-new set of Attacks at $300 a few months ago when I had the chance.The DV 46s are great, but for my money I'd just do Assaults/ Strikes. Most of the performance for a good bit less.
