I could ride a 54 or 55. Does it have clearance for wider tires, like 27 - 33ish? I'm looking to spend under $300

I'm looking to sell two wheelsets, posting here first then they'll go on eBay.
Both are tubeless and rim brake. I can't use them anymore since all my frames are disc brake. I built them both. Everything's true within 1mm.
No QRs included but you can have the tubeless tape and valves that are installed.
Set 1 - DT Swiss 350 hubs / Pacenti SL23 front and Forza rear rims. 24/28 Sapim CX-Ray spokes. Sapim Securelock aluminum nipples. Rear was rebuilt February 2017 and it has at most 100 miles since being rebuilt. I started riding Set 2 instead (really wanted to build wheels). Front rim still has significant life left according to the wear indicator but front rim is not new. I don't feel like taking the tires off these, so these will come with older Schwalbe One tires mounted tubeless. If you really don't want the tires I can take them off. These are probably in the 1600 gram range but I don't feel like taking the tire off to weigh them. It's possible they're in low 1700s range.
These hubs show cosmetic signs of age, as pictured. Bearings are in fine condition, no detectable grittiness.
MSRP on a new set like this is probably $600. DT Swiss 350 straight pull hubs new cost about $250, a Pacenti Forza rim costs $109, CX Ray spokes are $3 each.
Set 2 - has been taken Bitex hubs / Kinlin XR31T rims. 20/21 spoke, triplet laced, Sapim D-Light spokes with orange aluminum nipples. Weight with tubeless tape and valves is 699 front 851 rear = 1552 grams. This rim has tested similarly to Zipp 303s in the wind tunnel. These hubs have a quick 48 points of engagement, which would make them good for cyclocross. The rear rim is off-center, so the spoke tension is nearly identical on each side, which increases durability of the wheel. Sapim D-Light spokes are almost as light as CX-Rays but are round, not bladed. They are recommended for MTB so I think they can handle your super road watts.
This set is more budget-minded but in my mind outperforms the other set. It's lighter, got more PoE on the hub, just lacks the name-brand panache. Cost me $300 + my time to build. The pinning process that Kinlin uses to join these rims leaves them with a visible cosmetic line across from the valve.
I think I have extra spokes for each set that I could also give you. I can't offer any kind of formal warranty but if you have an issue I'm happy to repair them with new spokes etc. if you pay for the parts.
If your name is Christopher Yacks you are not allowed to buy these because I don't want to see my children die.
Make me an offer? rigby.b@gmail.com (774) 219-4511
Would also potentially be willing to barter for some cool bike parts of equivalent value.

- Shimano PD pedals
- Specialized Romin saddle 155cm

I'm selling my Giant 2012 Omnium, size M. I've just hadn't had the chance to ride it and the floods in Houston have made the velodrome in-operable for the foreseeable future. So, looking to sell this and build up a crit bike (as noted above). I bought this off Torsten (sp?), mechanic at Redbeard. he also hand built the wheels. The frame is stiff AF.
Price: $700
Location: The bike is in Houston, so will need to be shipped to NYC. We can work together on the shipping costs (like splitting it).
Here's a stock picture for you.
Have at it!!

Free for the taking - brand new never worn pair of Cadence Collection shorts. Size 32, but they run small and the leg is quite narrow, not for the quad-zillas among us:

@BenFinoRadin, I think I can fit in those.

There a couple of CX bikes being sold for really great prices by New Yorkers. Totally race ready bikes. Figure I would post them here.
Drew Pattison is selling a Spooky 53.5 Complete $950
https://www.facebook.com/groups/211715905548876/permalink/1464248926962228/
Former Kissena president, Mike Perlberg is selling a Trek Crocket 56 for $650
https://www.facebook.com/groups/211715905548876/permalink/1460054094048378/
Bryan Banducci, also selling a Trek Crocket, 52 for $750
https://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/bik/6307251521.html
If you are on the fence about CX, and these fit, these are amazing. Go for it.
Also, I'll use the opportunity to remind us of our Redbeard deal with Giant. For example the Giant TCX SLR 2 brand new can be had for $840 for Cat 3 riders, $1120 for Cat 4/5. Brand new ready to race Saturday.

Sep 25, 2017 at 05:58 PM
edit: $800 and I'm selling it ASAP because I just picked up my new CX bike from Redbeard!
I'm selling a CX bike and and my old CAAD10 frame. I'm going to put the CAAD10 on eBay and will link here, but I'd like to sell the CX locally to avoid shipping a whole bike
2015 CAADX fully built for CX, I had just gotten it ready for the season then decided to get a new bike so that both my road and CX bike have the same wheel, BB standard, and rotor size. priorities! Not selling it until I take delivery of my new one from Redbeard, which should be in this week
Specifications:
Bike will be dirtier than in pictures since I'm going to ride/race it until new one ready. Pictures taken a week or two ago when new cassette was put on.
Also, from speaking with some folks there seem to be some confusion, so don't be confused: tubeless wheels can accept regular clinchers

Specifications:
- 2015 CAADX Frame and fork size 51cm (no 52cm frame in this frame, only 51 and 53, so if you ride a 52 this will work)
- New SRAM Force 11-32 casette
- New SRAM 1x 42T chainring (this cassette and chainring give you similar ratios than 46/36 11-28, with a little bit of an easier gear overall)
- Bulletproof American Classic/Novatec wheels, 32 spoke, weigh 1544 grams with valve and tape -- great tubeless rims as long as you don't use Schwalbe tires
- New SRAM Rival 1x rear derailleur
- Red22 chain is couple months old but not worn
- Fender and rack mounts (one rear mounting hole had to be drilled out when a bolt snapped off, it still works but you should use loctite to be safe)
- Cranks are Quarq ready, so if you buy a Quarq meter it screws right on without having to buy new cranks
- New shift cable and housing
- New (okay so I've ridden maybe like 40 miles) tubeless Vittoria Cross XL Pro 150tpi tires, set up tubeless
- Cane Creek headset, artfully low stack
- SRAM Centerline rotor
- Front clamp-on derailleur included (removed for 1x setup)
- Front shifter included (brifter is not just a brake like a new 1x bike would be)
- Bike is used, shows that it's been used, but 100% functional
- BB30 bearings replaced beginning of July, not gritty
- Total weight as pictured 20 lb (with the pedals on it, which I'll take off)
- I keep the pedals
Bike will be dirtier than in pictures since I'm going to ride/race it until new one ready. Pictures taken a week or two ago when new cassette was put on.

Cross is here! But also, cross is still coming. Snag this Stan's Iron Cross wheelset and START RIPPING up the grass, gravel, trails and pavement.
Here's the story: I bought the wheelset from a local racer during the offseason. They came stock on the new CX bike he'd just bought. He rode home from the shop, about five or six miles if memory serves, where he replaced these Iron Cross wheels with some Enves, and sold them to me. Since then they've been sitting in a box in my apartment. As close to new as you can get without going to to the shop. I had intended to use them on my new Van Dessel but I didn't foresee a compatibility issue with the thru-axles: these both measure 12mm, and the fork on my bike is 15mm. Original owner removed the cool decals, unfortunately. Tubeless compatible.
$300
Kissena members get first dibs! I'll be posting to Facebook soon.
