FS: Pacenti Forza Classico 700c wheelset

[Jacob Tobey]

FS: Pacenti Forza Classico Wheelset—700c, 100mm front, 135mm rear, 32 spokes. Hand built with Bitex hubs and weighing in at 1540g. These came on my Atlantis and I've just replaced them with something more touring focused. Not sure of the mileage, but they spin true and have plenty of life left on the brake track. I'll remove the cassette prior to shipping.

These were $700 new. I'm asking $375 + shipping from Madison WI.

is this considered....light? I have an all black wheelset on my roadini and I'm considering going back to classic silver, but I also need a non-aesthetic reason to switch, and I want to make the Roadini even lighter.

My wheels: Dyad rims, SP Dynamo Hub, Deore Rear Hub.

I don't think it would be considered exceptionally light when compared to carbon or a lesser spoke count, but I think they're on the lighter side for a 32 spoke 700c wheelset. That's my understanding at least. I can say with certainty that they're considerably lighter than the cliffhanger wheelset I replaced them with, but that might not be saying much!

Your best bet would be to weigh your current wheels if you're looking for a comparison, but I imagine these would have them beat. They'd look amazing on a Roadini!

1540g is indeed light for a clincher rim-brake wheel set with a 135mm rear hub.  

A Roadini wants a 130mm rear hub, though.

Ah yeah. I had my black wheels re spaced to 132.5 when I took them off the Sam.

Bump. How about $350 + shipping?

Could the rear hub be re spaced to 130mm?

I've heard of people doing this by removing spacers from the non drive side and redishing the wheel, but I'm 100% sure. I've never done it myself. I have reset a steel frame from 130mm to 135mm though! That's probably the easier move, but it depends on how precious you are with the frame.

Sold (:

Late to the thread, but I believe the Bitex hubs have bits to make them 135 or 130 spacing. I laced up a set of Bitex and Pacenti Forza rims too, Sapim DB 14-17 front spokes, 14-17 and 14-15 rear, 3x 32 hole.  IIRC, 1500-1600 g,  with tubeless rim tape. The Bitex freehub is quieter than Pacenti/Campy and other angry bee hubs, but noticeably louder than Shimano 105/Ultegra/DA freehubs.
