Thanks for the replies people. Another question re. these wheels. If
properly built are they of much better quality than Shimano Alivio Hubs (7
gear rear) and Rigida Rims (1.75wide)? Sorry I can't find an identifying
number on the Rigidas but they are drilled for Schraeder valves.
Thanks again for all help.
ps. I bought the wheels with the STX hubs, 8-gear cluster (34 teeth granny),
2 tubes, 2 Secialized Ground Control II 1.95 tires, a black Sell Italia
racing saddle with Cro-moly rails (now on my roadbike), and a Sugino MIGHTY
350X four bolt crankset with 175mm arms (only has the middle 42 teeth
chainring swapped with an older Sugino triple 28-38-48 until I get a 28 and
52 chainring for it), unidentified MTB pedals with MTB toe-clips as well as
the Phoenix DITCHPIG frame and Shimano short cantilevers for the whopping
sum of $20 Cdn. The bike also had handlebars stem and brake levers which I
donated as I was putting on an adjustable stem, ergo drop bars,aero brake
levers and Ultegra bar cons. Bike is finished and rides like a charm with
1.25 tires (90psi) on the Velocity K-525 rims. All that is needed now is to
take the wheels in to get them prperly tensioned. They are true but the
spokes are a little loose.
