The set of wheels I am selling are actually the second set of wheels I have for my 2017 Surly Troll. When I got the bike new, it was spec'ed out with a set wheels that were built up with Velocity Blunt 35 rims. BTW, I am a huge fan of Velocity rims, I also have two sets of Velocity rims for my road touring bike. I had the wheelset that I am selling built because I wanted a stronger wheel that was better suited for plus-sized tires. I also wanted a wheelset that had a dyno hub for generating power while on the road. I am only selling the wheels because I am raising money for a new bike, a Salsa Cutthroat which has 29" wheels.
I had the wheels I am selling built up professionally less than a year ago, as far as I can tell they are in excellent/like new condition and are dead true. Both wheels are 32 spoke which on a 26" rim makes for an extremely strong wheel that is ideal for bikepacking, especially with the Velocity Dually which is a bombproof rim. The dyno wheelset uses a SON28 Dyno hub, arguably the best dyno hub available. This is a tubeless setup (you can use tubes if you want) and I am including a set of WTB Ranger tires that have a lot of life left in them, see pics. This is what the wheelset cost me:
2 - Velocity Dually 32 Spoke Rims 26" 270.00
SON28 Centerlock Dyno Hub (newest version) 315.00
Shimano XT 12 x 148 Centerlock Rear Hub 70.00
DT Stainless Double Butted Spokes/Nipples 65.00
2 - WTB Ranger 3" x 26" Tough Fast Rolling Tires 140.00
Stans Rim Tape/Stems/Orange Sealant 50.00
Professional Build (Broken Spoke, Santa Fe) 100.00
Total 1,010.00
I am selling the wheelset (less cassette and rotors seen in the photos) for less than half of what I paid for them. If you ever wanted to try a dyno hub wheelset this is a great way to do it for little more than the just the cost of the SON 28 dyno hub. BTW, I also have a Sinewave Reactor USB converter available if you would like to buy it separately. I have more pictures of the wheelset if you want to see more of them.
