WTB 120 OLD rear clincher wheel 700c
anyone have a nice 700c rear wheel with 120mm spacing that is gathering dust that you'd like to part with?

But if there are steep hills, or sharp bends, or if I'm going riding in the rain, no clinchers for me, thanks. I value remaining upright too much. The only times I've hit the deck from flatting is with the clinchers, in turns and in the rain. Wham, and down.

well, the pros and cons of clincher v tubular is probably litigated elsewhere.... just looking for a 700c 120mm rear wheel of the clincher variety!

What I did for my PX-10 that came to me without wheels is--
took a 126 wheel (Shimano 600 hub and CXP-22 rim in this case) and cut off 4 mm of axle. My Peugeot rear end was closer to 122 than 120. My Mafac/Koolstop brakes worked great on those rims.
