29er white industries single speed specific 32H disc hubs built onto stans 325 rims, currently built with specialised butcher and purgatory 3.2/3.3 tubeless tyres
But these wheels can hold their own for all - mountain-bike riding or a bombproof SS CX setup / touring disc wheel / gravel bike /commute setup for skinny or fat road tyres.I would keep but i've skimmed down my bike collection and can't justify these in the spares box!
£250 couriered to your door

All will be reasonable prices with discount for multiple buys, pics and info to follow... -

Not the pimp ones specifically, all defenders... my insurance broker told me they were the third most nicked car in the country and no surprises considering you can remove the doors with an allen key from the outside without even fussing with the locks
very easy to strip down and resell, so much so that the insurance on a defender was double that of my G-klasse ! -

So been tinkering with the Gelandewagen and thought people might be interested...
since moving my intercooler inside the engine rather than dangling underneath the car which involved removing the oil cooler it's been running a bit odd, not as much grunt as i'd like.
Also on the motorway when i push past 70mph for too long the engine heats up pretty quickly but cools as soon as i take my foot off the pedal...been 6k miles so do a oil change : not bad, feels a bit smoother
alt belt tensioner is rattling so replacing the shock bushing : definitely quieter
fuel filter : chugs a little lessdecide that my air filter for the turbo intake could be working poorly due the fan in front of it creating turbulence so buy a crappy eBay air filter tubing kit to redirect from there to somewhere else. Only cost £25 figure i can experiment and buy a proper one if it works
pop up the bonnet, fitting it properly will require lots of tinkering so just pop the old filter off and put this new on to see if that makes a difference before rerouting when i have a few hours spare.holy shit. incredible.
mpg gone from 22 ish to almost 30
can hear turbo boosting up, and the waste gate opening with a satisfying ssssshhhhhhh noise when i drop off the accelerator - loads of turbo flutter at low speeds
less black smoke when i floor it
lots of whizzy speed with minimal turbo lag
temperature stays low whatever i doand best of all it spins its wheels from standing!
so, yeah - if you have an air filter you can clean DO IT. It's transformed my ride, just need to get a decent one that will have the balance of air intake and filtration protection
