Relisted most of the items and dropped prices.  Most of the goodies did not sell.  Feel free to make me offers.

Bump.  Wheelset and cleats still available.

Pair of Major Tom / Ultegra / Sapim Race wheels.  Brand new, except for the hubs, which were used.  They are laced 3x, not even fully tensioned yet.  I ran out of time and patience.

Whats involved in finishing them up? I've not built a set of wheels before.

Not much, just a spoke key, some time and some patience.  Oh and probably a dishing guide (can be home made).  

Here are two good resources I've used to lace and tension wheels.

It isn't rocket science, but isn't a process you should rush.  

Or for usually about $50 a wheel you can bring them to your LBS and have them tension them up.

Just curious - why getting out of tubulars?  Going tubeless, clinchers, or getting out of the sport?

Kris

Thanks for replying to my other thread (tubular vs. tubeless). If the wheels are still unsold, please let me know.
