Great deal on Carbon Fiber Track Wheels

For sale is a 700c HED-3 front tubular (full carbon) track wheels. I'm the second owner. The first owner purchased it new in 2010 and used it for one TT race. It was never crashed or abused. The wheel original has the HED skewer, but I had HED change it over to a HED track axle. Both will be included with the sale. The wheel is glued up with a Vittoria Corsa Evo-CX 21-28". It's been sitting deflated for several months so I may suggest having the tire re-glued before track season.

The HED 3 Stickers were removed for the stealth black look. They can be replaced by HED for 20 bucks if you're into the look of logos being plastered all over your bike.

Asking price is $425 + shipping in the USA.

Secondly, I have for sale a BRAND NEW, never used Karbona UFO rear tubular track disc (full carbon). 3k Woven Matte finish. This is single sided, track specific with threads for cog/lock ring. The wheel was purchased brand new this past year with the intention of riding more pursuits this year, but plans have changed. The wheel is glued up with a brand new Continental Sprinter 22x700. The tire is deflated because I don't have a pump to fit disc wheels. These are very difficult to get in the USA and they sell for nearly 1,500.00 from CarbonFreaks store online.

Asking price is $500 + shipping.

I will make a deal for someone who is wanting to buy both together. They make a great set.
