Hi everyone,

I'm looking to buy a Velocity Cliffhanger rear wheel in size 700 aka 29" with a 135mm rear spacing for use on my Rivendell. I already have a front wheel. I would prefer a silver one with machined sidewall. I'd also love a high-end hub such as a Chris King or White Industries. I am in NYC. Message me off-list if you have something for me.

Thank you!

Michael

Not the fancy hub you’re looking for but can’t beat this price. I have these on my Clem and they’re super solid/well made and indeed Cliffhangers.

Justin is correct.

Also worth mentioning that that particular item linked is a wheel that QBP (quality bicycle products); (the largest cycling distributor in the country) sells to shops. Not machined sidewall, but a nice dull silver.

Any fine local bike shop that has a Q account will be happy to special order this for you and if they’re really great they’ll do a final tension/true & hub adjustment for no extra charge before handing it over to you. Machine assembled wheels typically need some massaging straight from the distributor.
