Vuelta Airlines 1 are these mtb wheels?
- Thread starter stevali
- Start date
I have two sets of airline 1's - deffo 26" mountain bike wheels. They're ok wheels if a trifle heavy. Be aware the freehub doesn't appear to be shimano so replacement when worn is proving difficult, so far. The wheel does take shimano cassette however.
BTW - think they also did airline roady wheels at one point but if yours are 26", well they're 26" and therefore ok on mtb

OK, here they are :
STX hubs :
Unfortunately they don’t have stainless spokes so they could do with a bit of a rub with wire wool but other than that and some of the stickers are lifting slightly around the edges they are very good condition and run quite true.
I think they have been stood more than they have been used as the hub bearings are still nice and tight and I am pretty sure they have never been apart, I think this is even the original freehub grease overspill :shock: :
The rims still have the original machining / turning marks on them :shock: the discoloration on the alloy would go after a few rides worth of braking :
I have no idea what they are worth so as of yet I am not offering them for sale, I will be asking the correct questions in the correct forum soon …
Cheers,
WD
