Anderzander Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 The chap who did the banded steels for me … did a set of 4 on tubeless rims for someone, but did them to a spec different than the chap wanted … These have an extra 2” in width on the front side. So 7.5” So if anyone is interested … let me know. I haven’t put them in for sale as I’m not selling them ! And the forum asks for a price and I don’t have one. He says: Quote These are just sat upstairs gathering dust lol. They cost me 200 for the clean tubeless rims and there £95 a go to band now. I’m open to offers, swaps, payment in tools or whatever you have🤣🤣 Wheels are in Stockport, Manchester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 5 done - but I guess a bit like a space saver most people could manage with a std size spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happyoldgit Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Confused. Is this an advert? Giving them away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted January 21, 2023 Author Share Posted January 21, 2023 I’m sharing that I know of someone who will take offers on these banded wheels. Its the same engineer who did mine and I know it’s great work. Sort of like sharing something that’s been spotted on eBay … except it’s not on eBay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 23 hours ago, Stellaghost said: I wonder how difficult they would be to do at home........ Regards Stephen Mount an old hub in the lathe, bolt wheel on, part it off, roll ring, tack and test trueness, fully weld, rinse and repeat. you can even do alloys if you have two matching wheels and part them off in different places.

Mike I quite agree, I was rather disappointed, but guess they got a sponsorship for the replacements... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted January 22, 2023 Author Share Posted January 22, 2023 I hate the wheels on binky … on the welding and banding your own wheels - for me it’s one of those where if you have the kit and capability, go for it - but it’s not one to just ‘have a go at’.
