Sold: $335  Buyer: Thailand
Classic 1991 Specialized Trispoke carbon alloy tubular front wheel triathlon dual hub HED 700c
Frame and Wheel is auctioning a Specialized Trispoke wheel on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. The current owner purchased the wheel second hand in 1992. It was used for one racing season. It was used as a front wheel for time trials. It was raced less than ten times. It was never crashed. It has been in storage in a wheel bag since then. The owner is selling the wheel because he is clearing out his basement of cycling equipment. The wheel features original trispoke design and construction, alloy tubular rims, dual front / rear Specialized hub, 100 mm steel road axle, 54 mm rim depth, 19 mm rim width, smooth black carbon finish, distinctive Specialized yellow lettering and HED Cycling lineage. The wheel as shown weighs 2 pounds 8 ounces (1.1 kg). The serial number reads 363-21-864. The model year date reads 22791. The hub as shown has a 100 mm steel axle. It is set up for use as a front wheel on a road bike. The hub can be converted to a rear wheel hub. The HED.3 Rear Track Axle Thread On is required to make the conversion. Skewer not included. There are 60 images of the wheel set at Frame and Wheel’s Flickr page. Please take a look. Ships in custom wheel box.

Review of condition
The wheel is in good condition. It is clean and ready to ride. The hub spins smoothly and freely. There are no dents in the rim. There are no cracks, flexing, flaking in the three carbon spokes. There are no cracks, flexing, flaking or discoloration in the carbon wall. The valve opening is undamaged and unobstructed. There is no play in the hubs. The threading on the drive side hub is not stripped or corroded. There is no glue on the rims. The rim seam is smooth. There is no corrosion on the rim. The rim is firmly attached to the carbon shell. The yellow lettering is not peeling off. Frame and Wheel notes the following. There is lateral and vertical variation in the rim of less than 1 mm when placed in the truing stand. There is an 8 mm x 50 mm scratch on the non valve opening side “Specialized” spoke. There is a 25 mm x 15 mm abrasion on the carbon wall near the valve opening. There is wear around the valve opening from a sticker. There is a light 1 mm x 42 mm scratch on the the carbon wall near the “Specialized” spoke. There is a 1 mm x 20 mm scratch on one of the non valve opening side spokes.

Frame and Wheel conclusion
Frame and Wheel’s view is that this Specialized Trispoke wheel will suit the road cyclist who seeks a classic aero wheel for a time trial bike as well as the collector who seeks original detail for an early nineties time trial bike restoration. It will also suit the track cyclist who seeks something sturdy and aero for a track bike and the fixie enthusiast who wants to change the voice of a single speed bike. The wheel is in good condition given its twenty two years and has many more hours of use as a front or rear wheel remaining in its carbon spokes and aluminum alloy rims. The distinctive sound of the three bladed spokes dicing the wind will channel the vision of Steve Hed and is sure to provide deep satisfaction and inspiration to the new owner. A rare and excellent opportunity to obtain a modern day classic.

Frame and Wheel conclusion
Frame and Wheel’s view is that this Spinergy X-tralight Rev-X wheel set will make an essential addition to a classic Cannondale bike collection.The wheel set will also add generous amounts of retro aero cool to an urban fixie bike. Frame and Wheel is not convinced that these wheels are a good choice for racing or serious riding given the huge advancements in carbon wheel technology and the fact that Spinergy no longer manufactures them (Indeed, users are cautioned by Spinergy to inspect these wheels closely and frequently for cracks). Nevertheless, these wheels are in good condition and ready to add a new accent to the voice of a bicycle that is used for gentle commuting or display purposes. An increasingly rare opportunity to obtain a deep dish original.

The crank set was returned to SRM USA for servicing and inspection in November 2012. SRM USA did the following: 1) Disassemble power meter, chainrings and crank arms. Clean and check reed switches, solder pad, coil, wires and lid. Load firmware, solder new batteries, test current and zero offset. Reassemble power meter with chain rings and crank arms. Calibration, test with PowerControl. SRM concluded that zero offset, power and cadence were OK. 2) Provide new slope=21.4/Nm. Provide new PowerMeter Circuit Board. Provide new speed sensor under the warranty. Change battery in PowerControl VI #4099. 

Frame and Wheel conclusion
Frame and Wheel’s view is that this SRM training system will make an excellent choice for the dedicated cyclist or triathlete who seeks to train and race with power. The training system is complete, in good condition, newly returned from servicing and ready to measure watts with ruthless accuracy. The new owner will discover the true meaning of the term “power interval” and reap the performance benefits that are obtained by analyzing ride data over time. The wireless system is convenient and pleasing to the eye, and the PowerMeter is compatible with any ANT + power control unit. A fine and rare opportunity to obtain an instrument that has become ubiquitous in competitive cycling.
