    Tightening Racing 600 disc brake wheels ?

    I have a bit of play in the front wheel. Can't find anything on the internet about adjusting them - apart from an old video suggesting it's the easiest thing in the world with a 2.5mm Allen key. My wheels aren't that design sadly. Nothing to grab.

    Mavic Ksyrium Wheels

    I believe these are compatible with normal clincher and tubular tyres, however there are conflicting reports that they can’t take clinchers ? Can anyone confirm who uses them ?

    Odd free hub type - 2009 Trek 8500 with Bontrager RL wheels

    I have a standard 2009 Trek 8500 that has the standard OEM Bontrager RL 26inch wheels. I recently stripped the free hub as it was noisy and was making grating sounds as it there were grit in it. Now I was expecting the entire free hub to come off the hub in one piece being held on with 15mm hex...

    Strength of wheels

    Hi, The pros jump up and down pretty big kerbs at times. Are they ever risking a buckle/broken wheel or…are their wheels so well made that it is highly unlikely? What is the minimum price (sale prices aside) you would ever pay for a road bike wheel (to get the strength and performance)? Many thanks.

    Out of balance Hunt carbon wheels?

    Ive just taken delivery of a pair of Hunt 36 UD carbon wheels and very nice they are to. Super light at just 1290 grammes, which means that they hook up incredibly quickly and ascending with them is just fantastic. The bearings are so silky smooth to, these are not the ceramic bearing version...

    Triban rc520 wheels upgrade.

    Hello. I intend to do a wheels upgrade into gravel direction to my Triban rc520 and I wonder if this wheelset from Mavic it worth ? The wheels have 23 mm internal rim width (instead 17mm of original) , think more better suited for 35 mm tires I intended to use. Do You see any incompatibility? If...

    Summer Wheels !

    Well it's not summer yet but I figured I'd pull out the summer wheels early. I've ridden tri-spokes and deep rims forever it seems. But over the last two years I've stayed off my Reynolds 81's because I've been over there weight limit. I was over the weight limit for some time but three years...

    Hey folks, I'm looking for recommendations for a 10-speed 700c rear wheel that supports rim brakes. I've a nice carbon road bike that's sat on a turbo for a number of years because the freehub is dead and as such, is fit only for turbo duty, but with the nice weather coming out to play the...

    Tyres for 26 inch vintage road wheels

    My son has picked up a scruffy Raleigh Olympus for an inexpensive (hopefully) resto project. It is generally good, but without tyres fitted and he is struggling to size them. We are getting roundly confused with ISO diameters and by visual comparison concluded that 650B road tyres (584mm ISO)...

    Interesting video on carbon clincher wheels.

    Might be best to avoid watching if you use rim braked carbon clinchers? View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7O95Cd-aogk

    Carbon disc wheels - £1K budget - recommendations welcome...

    Hi, I've just bought a discounted 2020 Cervelo S5 and I'm due to collect in a week or so from my local bike shop. The wheels are pretty mediocre and let the whole package down a little. The shop recommend Hunt Aero 50s at £800 a set. I've read that although they're not bad, they're nothing...

    Hi All, I've been looking to upgrade my disc wheelset for a little while now. My budget is around £400 and I don't mind alloy or carbon, although I realise I probably couldn't afford carbon! I've seen this Scribe Race-D wheelset which is interesting...

    lightweight wheels vs bladed spokes

    would i even notice the difference? i have some superstar wheels circa under 1500g but narrow rims so the tyres bulge over the rim versus some rs11s, 400 g heavier but a wider rim and bladed spokes

    New wheels, again!

    My Ti bike has 50mm deep section wheels which makes gusty winds entertaining. Until this morning I had a set of Mavic Aksium Disc's to use in these conditions - I sold them because they weren't anywhere near as nice as the summer wheels, weren't tubeless ready and I never used them :shy: Instead...

    I love my Cole Wheels

    I have over 60,000 miles on this set of Cole wheel, and the roads have beat them pretty hard. For a Clydesdale (225 lbs) guy who doesn't baby his wheels and puts a ton of torque on the rear wheel doing all my thigh burner climbs (15-28% grade). I just can't complain that I have just now in the...

    Jockey wheels; Bearing or not?

    Took the jockey wheels off/out, gave them a really serious clean, probably way over due although they get the brush & degreaser on a regular basis. Anyway, my question is, do jockey wheels have bearing in them or just run on the spindle in the centre? Short of pulling one of them to pieces...
