So, after considering and wanting to get in to road cycling for a long while, after hardly riding a bike for about 20 years, I bought myself a Triban RC120 (non disc version) just before Christmas. What I didn’t realise was that once the bug hits it’s a bottomless pit of internet shopping 😂.
I’m thinking about upgrading the wheels (as well as getting a 105 front brake calliper as the front brake is poor, but that’s another story). It seems generally accepted that the stock wheels and tires aren’t great.
I’ve seen a few tempting second hand sets, a pair of Mavic Ksirium Elites being particularly tempting. However, most wheels I see say they are Shimano 10/11 speed compatible. The Triban though is only an 8 speed cassette. So the question is, will 10/11 speed hubs still work with a measly little 8 speed (I don’t intend changing the group set.........yet 😂)
Cheers.
