wheel

Here is an unusual situation. I have a pair of 28h hubs and 28 hole rims. Went to build them up today and while lacing discovered that there is NO offset between the left and right hole drillings . amused - not a lot. Any ideas folks ?

Did a quick search but couldn't see anything - my front wheel has developed a vibration, like I'm going over a bump once per revolution. It's quite noticeable and I'm a bit worried cos I'm going on a long (for me) organised ride on Saturday. I've just swapped back to 32c Gatorskins from my much...

These were used on my Boardman and are pretty light, had some use of course but still in pretty good condition complete with Vittoria Rubino Pro 700 x 23 tyres. £75 collected from Farnborough/Camberley area Price dropped to £70

Who's at fault here? Nearly everyone has condemned the boy on the BMX but cyclist Jeremy Vine had waded into the debate saying: https://mol.im/a/7363157#v-7985016940528091608 What do you think?

This afternoon I fitted a new tyre to the front wheel of my Giant bike. I pumped it to 80 psi and refitted the wheel to the bike while it was still on the bike stand. 15 minutes or so later, I heard a sudden rushing of air from the wheel. The bike was still on the stand so absolutely no weight...

Bought some second hand wheels recently. Spin well and seem mostly trued, but when I went for first ride on them today there was quite an annoying rotational click from the front one. I thought it might be to do with the set up of the bike - catching on frame or brakes - so I then tried it on...

Hi folks... I'm looking for info on 100mm wide disc-braked dynamo hubs suitable for small wheels.... I know of a couple, an eye-wateringly expensive SON (it will be lovely, but it is expensive) and the Biologic Joules 3 Disc.... which isn't exactly cheap and seems to be almost unicorn rare...

This Rohloff has always belonged to me and as I recall was bought in 2002. It has had regular oil changes and been entirely reliable. It was bought from St John St Cycles and has been re-built by them into a Rigida Andra 26" 32 hole rim. I'm selling it because it's part of a project I will...

SO I am looking to change the front chain wheels from 53/ 43 to 50 /38 as I is getting long in the tooth and hills a getting harder to climb. Every thing starts out fine measure the PCB or BCD 130mm not a problem but the strange flat headed Allen bolts holding the ring's to the crank are what...

Hi folks, I just picked up my rear wheel after a hub upgrade and rebuild. The rim is a 36h Ryde Andra 30, the hub was upgraded to a Deore XT. Now, the hub they used is a disc brake hub and I use rim brakes. In the LBS they'v told me there is no difference in operation. Is this true? I imagine...

Evening all, the Mrs has a Cube 10 speed MTB (with discs), she never got to use as she fell pregnant quickly after we bought it. She now wants to try and use it on the TT to get her comfidence bacm. I usually put an old spesh on the TT, but noticed it is also 10 speed (rim brakes). I have put...

After a great day riding car free on yet another great fun let's ride event. I had one of them silly how did that happen slow motion moments. Just as I was getting off to at the station door some how I brushed one of the anti car bollards. :wacko: Down I went my thigh landed on the rear wheel...

This is plaguing me since beginning of the year. It comes by itself, lasts weeks then it goes by itself. And some time later, it's suddenly back. Last occasion it ceased a couple months ago. Since yesterday it's back. Before yesterday there wasn't an apparent reason for its start. Yesterday...

On the way home today, noticed a cyclist riding what I at first took to be a hand cranked bike, but when I met him at some lights, he was riding a 'regular road bike, but with a full cassette & chain setup drive to the front wheel. It was powered by a crank / handlebar setup and looked pretty...

Hi I was out cycling this morning on my 6 week old Giant TCR carbon road bike. Halfway through the ride, one of my rear spokes came loose and the wheel felt as if it was misaligned (when I manually spun the wheel, it spun ok but then stopped when it came into contact with the brake pads. The...

...but I am getting confused. On my posh (hoho) bike I have Fulcrum Racing Quattros, and the previous bike had Mavic Aksiums. I just got a bargainous Colnago woohoo which has its own-brand (rebadged FSA) Artemis wheels. The rep for all of these is "heavy and slow", but I can't say the engine is...

At some point in the medium term, I'm going to replace the wheels on the Scott roadie. It currently wears Shimano R500s, and I'd like something similar-ish or better to replace them. Not aiming to spend lots, and to repeat, this isn't likely to happen any time soon, maybe 6 months ahead. Your...

I need new wheels on my Specialized Sirrus This is my work bike, touring bike and general all round bike. Any recommendations for a decent 9 speed disc set please

This is new territory for me and l have no idea if these wheels are ok or rubbish so all advice/opinions are welcome . There is a 2017 set for sale here and just wondered if they would be worth buying for a future build ? The photo doesn't really help, l think the seller is trying to disguise...

Has anyone got experience of a rear wheel disc cover/ jacket, not sure what they’re called? my 88mm wheel has broke and thinking of one of these for an Ironman coming up, can’t afford a new wheel yet , been looking second hand, so thinking along this line temporarily! cheers

I am looking to buy a shimano front wheel, probably a WH-RS300. They appear to come with QR skewers but do I need to buy an axle, rim tape and hub or is this all included in the box? Also, are they tru'd at the factory or will I need to take it somewhere for that? Thanks :)

Wanted to convert an old MTB from freewheel 7-speed.

This may have been posted somewhere before, but if you haven't seen it, it is well worth a watch - View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq28fU2AuMU

Wheel arrived looking like this. It’s a 700c x 19mm build. Rim tape looks rubbish to me and I’m surprised by the off centre holes. They were cheap and I guess you get what you pay for and have ordered wider rim tape to fix the gap. When querying the supplier I received a magical quote saying...

I want to add a dynamo to the front wheel of my Ribble CGR bike. Currently the wheels I have are Mavic AllRoad, 24 spoke. Rather than rebuilding my wheel, I am considering buying a new Mavic rim (£25) with 32 spoke holes to match up with a 32 spoke Shimano DH-UR705 dynamo hub (£100) and having...

Anyone got any views on this? https://www.wiggle.co.uk/x-tools-pro-mechanic-wheel-truing-stand-1/ Have always rated their tools (decent at a good price) but concerned by divergent reviews of it.

Hi all... Quick question if you can help me… I noticed this morning that when I applied the brakes on my Scott Sub Cross 10 2018 the front wheel seems to pull/kicks to the left slightly when you look at the top of the wheel from the riding position, not much but you can see it… When I got...

Hi folks After a bit of advice really. I'm looking at buying a new rear wheel for my carbon Boardman road bike, the budget could be stretched to £300. What would be a good buy and would you go for a deep rim carbon wheel or not? Opinions welcomed please/advice. Thanks for looking. Eldridge.

Hi Guys I ride a Van Nicholas Ventus Ti Roadbike and have suffered on a couple of occasions the rear wheel move in the rear drop out while under load? Causing rubbing on the frame. This has happened with two different rear wheels. The only way I have resolved this is by over tightening the QR...

HI Im looking to buy a cheap spare wheel for use with a turbo trainer, I have a 2014 Boardman cx comp and its listed as having 700c mavic xm319 wheels. I've searched all normal channels but there are so many options I dont want to buy one that wont fit, some people specify the internal width...
