Sold: $380 Buyer USA
HED Jet 60 HED CX carbon alloy tubular wheel set 700c 18/28 spoke Shimano hub
Frame and Wheel is auctioning an HED tubular wheel set on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. The front wheel is an HED CX. The owner purchased the front wheel new about ten years ago. It was used in one Ironman triathlon and a few road races. The rear wheel is an HED Jet 60. It was purchased new from TriSports two years ago. It was used twice for training. Both wheels have been in storage for more than two years. The wheels have had only one owner. They have never been crashed. The owner is selling them because he does not use them anymore and he is clearing out his basement of unused cycling equipment. The HED CX (front wheel) features an alloy rim, carbon rim shell, 65 mm rim depth, bladed spokes, external nipples, HED hub and 18 spoke count. The HED Jet 60 (rear wheel) features an alloy rim, carbon-winged rim shell, 63 mm rim depth, HED hub, bladed steel spokes, internal nipples, 28-spoke count and Shimano free hub body. The wheels were trued this week at Cyclemania. The wheels as shown weigh 4 pounds 4 ounces (1.9 kg). No skewers included! There are 40 images of the wheel set at Frame and Wheel’s Flickr page. Please take a look. Please see the Frame and Wheel website for more information about the company and the service.

Review of condition
The wheels are in good condition. They are clean and they are ready to ride. The hubs spin smoothly and freely. The spokes are tight and straight. The rims are round and the wheels are true. There are no dents or bends in the alloy rims. There are no cracks, flexing, flaking or discoloration in the carbon shells. There are no cracks in the hub body. There are no cracks in the flanges of the hubs. There is no corrosion on the spokes, the nipples or on the hubs. The stickers are not peeling off. Frame and Wheel notes the following. The free hub body has notches from a cassette. The braking surfaces show wear. There is old glue on the rims. There is a 10 mm x 10 mm abrasion on the carbon rim shell of the front wheel. There is a 1 mm x 10 mm abrasion on the carbon rim shell near the vale opening on the rear wheel.  

Frame and Wheel conclusion
Frame and Wheel’s view is that this HED wheel set will make an excellent choice for the triathlete or road cyclist who seeks practical deep dish tubular wheels for racing or training. The wheels are lightly used and have many hours of use remaining. The new owner will appreciate the durability and braking qualities of the alloy rims. An excellent opportunity to obtain very lightly used and aerodynamic tubular wheels at an attractive valuation.
