Does the wheel have any branding on it? What size is the tyre?

 

[harrybo]

700 kenda 23 .622 700x230

does that make sense? thats whats written on the tyre

 

[harrybo]

i have attached a picture on the second post can you see it?

You may unfortunately need to buy both, look at the SS/fixie specialists, e.g.

http://www.fixedgearfrenzy.com/wheels/no-logo-fixie-wheelsets.html (this company doesn't have the best rep so maybe search wider)

Or something like this? I assume the stickers peel off

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brev-M-Fi...sure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item1c49de611d

(get a pinhead or pitlock skewer too and a cable for the front wheel for future security)

That's the tyre not the wheel.

Steve did ask for the tyre size to be fair

So he did...sorry missed his post

thank you that wheel looks just perfect, silly question but how do i know the size of the wheel on my bike?

and is ss/fixie the name of the type of wheel?

No, a single speed is a bike with one gear and a fused gear has none, but that only effects the rear wheel which you fortunately still have (you can tell the bike is SS or fixed as there is no rear dérailleur for changing gears because there aren't any to change). But you must know that as its your bike surely?!

The wheel size is 700c, the rim width is the 622 I believe and the tyre width is 23mm, you'll need to buy one of those too, and an inner tube

A vittoria rubino tyre is reliable and costs a tenner from wiggle in the 700x23mm size you need (you'll need an inner tube that is 700x18/25, probably with a presta valve)

Thanks , I wasnt aware SS was single speed nor "fixie" was fixed really helpful advice so thank you so much.

just so i am clear, how did you search in google to get that wheel to come up? thank you

 

[vickster]

I just put 'fixed front wheel' or similar into the ebay search box I think

You might want to check with the chaps in the Single Speed/fixed part of this forum that the wheel is appropriate for your bike http://www.cyclechat.net/forums/fixed-singlespeed.12/

@vickster you may want to read this, or was the width comment a typo.
