Re: FT: Velocity Cliffhangers, SON Deluxe Widebody, White Industries MI5 wheelset

[Piaw Na]

I have a white industries rear hub hanging on a hook also because I can't deal with the noise. I swapped it out for a pair of wheels from Ted Neugent which were much quieter and lighter. I also have a set of wheels built with Miche Primato Syntesi hubs that are also a lot quieter. But people tell me that they want their hubs to be as loud as possible, but those are probably not the folks who populate this mailing list. :-)

Hey group,

Last listing went so well I'd like to see if there are any trade opportunities for this wheelset.

I purchased these wheels in 2020 for my first Susie, and while they're amazing wheels I'm looking to "downgrade" in a sense. Mainly I don't need the width of the Cliffhangers, and the White Industries rear hub is is too loud for my taste so I'd like to switch to something quieter, and change to silver.

Mine:

Velocity Cliffhanger 700c rims 32h black

Sapim Force Spokes with brass nipples black

Son Deluxe Widebody dynamo hub black

White Industries MI5 rear hub black

Great condition, present well and ride even better.

Desired wheels:

700c

Silver

Tubeless compatible (not super essential but nice to have)

Dynamo hub (LOVE my Son hub, would ideally have another)

Quiet rear hub!!!

Let's chat if you would like an opportunity to upgrade your existing wheels, I'm sure there's a deal to be made somehow.

Thanks and please respond off list :)

Hey Jared, 

I don't think the Atlas are tubeless compatible which was in your original request.

Also, can you remind me where you're located?

I wonder if either of you has tried repacking the WI rear hub w grease?  I know I9 has a few videos on reducing their hub oil w grease to reduce noise.

I'm in SF and would love to know your price for the wheels.  They might be nice on my Atlantis.

That's very validating, Piaw!

Max, you are correct in your assessment of the Atlas! Somehow I had it in my head they were compatible. but I'm not suuuppperrr hung up on tubeless, I've even had tubes in my Cliffhangers for the past year or so, haha. 

Dyads, also not compatible, have been a good rim for me in the past and I would be open to a pair of those as well. Will be running a max of 50mm wide tires, probably more in the 42-44mm range so something that meshes with that range would be ideal.

I'm located in Central CA, will be in the Bay Area Fri-Sun and could facilitate a trade in person, or could ship out before Friday so my bike is down while I'm out of town.
