wheels

I want (not need) a set of deep section carbon clinchers preferably with an alloy braking surface. Planet X do some which fit the bill for £400. Been scouring ebay, classified and used wheels of the PX model got for around £250. Is buying used wheels a recipe for disaster ? - would the be...

HELP! Wheels - exceptionally confusing! I'm looking at upgrading my stock wheels on my Giant TCR, for a budget of up to £500, but have absolutely no idea with so many options/recommendations. I think I want to go as aero as possible for crit racing (only 4th cat), but seem to be numerous...

Hello team, I seem to have a lot of problems with my rear wheels on my commuter. First up, I should say I am rocking 15 stone, but not a lot of fat... not that the bike cares. I ride a Kaffenback 2, and I love the thing, but the Shimano Rx05 it came with were losing a spoke a month before I...

Following a decent in bright sun and on a very busy A road, lots of traffic, I was unable to avoid a large pot hole. Result two pinch flats and damaged rims, now from the photos would you replace the rims or continue using them. The front rim, damaged on one side, has re inflated to 100psi...

Due to impending house move I am beginning a bit of a clear out. First up is a wheelset built by David Hunt at DCR Wheels. They are 24/28 H Son Plus Archetype rims, Novatec a291 / f482 hubs and Sapim laser spokes all in black with red nipples. Very low mileage (less than 50) as can be seen from...

I'm after something to replace my rather worn rims. Fairly small budget.

A set of 26" wheels built on original Hope hubs, with 165mm discs and fitted with Specialized fatboy slick street tyres with Flak Jacket puncture protection almost unused in 1.25" width. Rear wheel has an 8 speed 11-30 cassette in good condition. Wheels are well used and rims are quite marked...

Please explain things in very simple terms as I know next to nothing about bike mechanics. I can tighten my brakes, change a tire and index my gears by following a youtube video step by step and that's it ^_^ Over the last couple of days when I was cycling I occasionally felt something "slip"...

Hi there, In my day job (aside from my involvement in www.greekcycleholidays.com) I work in composites and Im trying to find information regarding the market size (sales of) carbon wheels. I was wondering if there are any industry insiders on here who may be able to help. Potentially a long...

I have an old reliable Claud Butler Dolomite hybrid with a 7 speed cassette on rear wheel which is the screw-in type.I need to replace the both wheels as they are worn out. I have had this old workhorse from new. The problem is that I cannot find any suitable wheels for this old steed unless I...

Not being very apt at working at my bike and tending to use the LBS....I have a question. My kinesis bike campag build needs a new wheelset (rims very thin) My LBS bike shop says fulcrum 3 would be a good choice and they are about £500. He also states it is better that he fits them as they need...

Rear wheel is a bomb proof Halo Combat , bearings ok but would need changing soon, front Mavic 225 on a hope hub , runs sweet . Pick up only Tranmere area

I want to get the Mongoose some new wheels; it came with Alex Rims PC-19's but I can't find them online. Does anyone have similar they could part with (which take a Shimano 8 speed freehub), or can anyone point me in something else online that will do the job? It's a pub bike for me and...

Anyone have a set of 700c Road disc wheels they want to sell, Shimano 11 speed? Or know of any online deals? I'm about to build up a Genesis equilibrium and need a set. Thanks

Hi, I'm currently saving up for some new wheels, hoping to purchase in the new year, so just wondered what other CCers' experiences had been with their hand built wheels. What components did you go for and why, who built them, how much did you spend and would you consider it money well spent...

Barry Hoban's excellent autobiography. Ist edition hardback published 1961 Very good condition in dust jacket. £20 including postage.

I have 2 shimano dynamo hub 26" wheels free to collection from the Stoke on Trent if interested. Hub is Shimano DH 3N30.

The wheels on my Honda civic have been well scratched and kerbed so I am getting some new ones. So for those who have done this is it worth going up from 16 to 17 inch or stay the same.. Any thoughts ..

I have a Mavic 27" rear and I think its a Maillord 27" front wheel free for collection in the Stoke on Trent area if anyones interested.

So my original Alex AT-400 rims and Formula Track sealed hubs have done around 3k miles of winter riding in salt, grit, rain, farm overspill, snow, ice and always in the crappiest of weather. I suppose the wheels should have expired a long time ago but apart from a few grooves/ridges on the rims...

Having spent weeks trying to snag a jumping chain on my Steel road bike, I finally spotted that the jockey wheels on the 9 Speed Tiagra derailleur had lots of lateral play, espacially the one closest to the casette. Having given the chain plenty of attention to remedy stiff links, finding the...

Any thoughts on where I can buy DT Swiss or Sapim quality spokes without busting the bank. Usual websites I use are demanding eye gouging prices @ £1 each (even before brass nipples). LBS wants £0.75/spoke. I don't want to buy boxes of 100 spokes for each size I require (3 different sizes on...

HI fellow CC members Wheels for Wellbeing are competing in the Aviva Community Fund for up to £10,000 towards their weekly cycling session at the Herne Hill Velodrome. This funding would help them continue to bring the benefits of cycling to hundreds of disabled and older people at this venue...

How the hell do you get a hub opened up if you've only got one spanner and also, why do giant do up their nuts and bolts do effing tight?! Bb

A pair of Mavic MA3 wheels with Campagnolo Athena hubs on. They had a 9 speed cassette on (listed elsewhere) so should work with 10 speed as well but not 11. Both need work in terms of bearings greasing and a general clean-up. Come with Michelin Axial Bi-sport tyres and rusty skewers. £20...

I've wound up with a couple of pairs of wheels that came on various bikes. the latest being my knight i picked up. Now the frame is light with some nice light components which i'm adding to, but these wheels are heavy and don't suit my intended build. The bike is from 77-80 so, i was thinking...

A few weeks into my Brompton ownership now and very happy with it, but now I am pretty well used to it I am finding some niggles that I would like to improve. Firstly the suspension block. I ordered it with the firm block and straight away I knew I made the right choice, there was barely any...
