Oval Concepts 958 carbon alloy clincher wheelset 700c 18/24 spoke Oval hubs SS skewer

Frame and Wheel is auctioning an Oval Concepts 958 wheel set on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. The wheels were parted out from a new 2012 Fuji SST 1.0 road bike. They were used only for racing. They have been in storage. They have never been crashed. The owner is selling them because they are no longer needed. The wheels feature alloy clincher rims, carbon walls, Oval Concepts front and rear hubs, 58 mm rim depth, 20 mm rim width, 18 (F) / 24 (R) spoke count, Oval Concepts stainless steel skewers and distinctive white lettering with red accents. The wheels as shown weigh 4 pounds 12 ounces (2.2 kg). Base tape included. There are 45 images of the wheel set at Frame and Wheel’s Flickr page. Please take a look. 

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 is no lateral or vertical variation in the rims when placed in a truing stand. The alloy rims are securely joined at the seams and the seams are flat. There is no flexing, flaking or discoloration in the carbon shell. There are no cracks in the hub bodies. There is no play in the hubs. There are no cracks in the flanges of the hubs. There is no corrosion on the spokes or on the skewers. The skewers are straight and complete and show no wear. The stickers are not peeling off. Frame and Wheel notes the following. There are notches on the free wheel hub body from a cassette. The braking surfaces show light wear. 

Frame and Wheel conclusion

Frame and Wheel’s view is that this Oval Concepts 958 wheel set will make an excellent choice for the road cyclist or triathlete who seeks a set of practical, durable and aero clincher wheels for racing and training. The wheels are in good condition and have many hours of riding remaining in their aluminum alloy rims and and carbon walls. The new owner will appreciate the better stopping power provided by aluminum braking surfaces and the convenience of not having to change brake pads when switching to alloy training rims. These wheels will change the voice of any road bike and will allow the new owner to conveniently experience the speed and the sound of 58 mm aero rims. A great opportunity to obtain some beautiful wheels.
