Re: [RBW] WTB 700c tourish wheels

If you want dynamo and less than $200, here's a new set (from Germany, $23
shipping)
http://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/shimano-custom-made-wheel-set-28-with-dynamo-dh-t780-mavic-a319-59527?currency=5delivery_country=191.
XT Trekking hubs (dynamo front), Mavic 319 rims, 32 holes, butted spokes.
Says not available, but this shop updates their availability often.

I picked up the 26 version of these wheels
http://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/shimano-custom-made-wheelset-26-with-dynamo-dh-t780-mavic-xm317-52011/wg_id-507
and am pleased.

However, I can feel more resistance from the DH-T780 dynamo in this set,
compared to the DH-3N80 that I bought at the same time and laced into a new
PL23 for my Riv.  Same light on both setups (Luxos U).  I haven't adjusted
the bearing preload yet, so maybe the cones are just a bit tight on the XT
dynamo.

 ok, gonna come at this wheel issue another way. previously i was looking
 for an ultra cheap pair to put on a bike im selling. nothing was really
 happening below the 75$ mark, so now im thinking i might want to put my
 most so-so/used up wheels on that bike as part of the sale and dedicate the
 money to a new-to-me wheelset for a sam h. i'd like to spend between
 150$-200$. maybe you've got something you don't need anymore. maybe, like
 me, you want to upgrade to something better than what you've got, but what
 you've got would be good for me.

 *ideally, looking for*
 -something good for light touring and occassional dirt. strong like.
 -36 spoke or 32fx36r, 135 rear spacing
 -room for 38-50mm tires.
 -7-9speed cassette
 -dynamo might be cool. ive never had a dynamo set up. might not be in the
 budget though, and definitely not a necessity.
 -low miles

 also, i guess if you have just one wheel, i wouldn't mind mixing and
 matching, though that can sometimes jack up the cost in the long run.


 i have an xd2-600 triple crank and some cromo albatross bars, if you want
 to do a partial trade too.

 thanks!
