wheel

A month or so ago my back wheel started rubbing on the brakes on one side, and I checked and lo and behold it appeared to 'wobble' so I assumed it was out of true loosened the brake and thought nothing more of it. This past week the wheel has started to rub on the frame. I assumed this meant...

Appreciate this may be better in the indoor training section but thought I'd give it a whirl... When is a turbo trainer tire done? Looks pretty spent to me and efficiency is poor (as its not for the road I don't mind that so much, just more training). But just looking some opinion and pointers...

Planning my next build, what's the largest diameter wheel available?

I’m fairly new to cycling and had my first fall yesterday, luckily it was at low speed and i’m just bashed and grazed, my bike took the worst of it. The roads where wet and my rear wheel kept locking up and slipping when going around bends, no matter how slow I went. My tyres were slicks at...

Back a few years ago you could get the Park WAG-3 Portable wheel dishing gauge but for some reason they discontinued it.Now they have the WAG-5 but to me it's not as easy to use as the WAG-3 was to use until I re did it a little I took that darn spring out of it and now it's easy to use.Park...

Hi, I have recently changed car to one with a smaller boot My trusty 20" wheel Ridgeback attache squeezes in but I think a 16" wheel folder would be a better long term solution as I can relocate the parcel shelf, etc I've done a bit of web browsing to see what's available (I don't think my...

Hi All Not sure if this is the correct forum to be putting this simple question on so apologies if it's not ! Will I need inner tubes with the long valve for these wheels as opposed to the "standard" valve length? I tend to just get Halfords own tubes as a rule and have a stock of standard...

i have a pro rider evoyager electric bike and have noticed 2 spokes have snapped on the rear wheel i would be very grateful for any advice or any links to where i can get replace spokes they are 2mm diameter and 216mm in length thanks for any help given

Is anyone else's piss boiling about throwing away good wheels because the bearing cups are worn out ? What a waste of resources and money just for a pressed in steel cup worth a couple of quid, if only they had made them replaceable. :cry: Rant over.

I'm just curious: what's the thinking behind different rim heights on the front and rear? And i'm even more intrigued to know about different rim heights on the same wheel. For example the Campagnolo Zonda front wheel rim height varies between 24 - 27mm; the rear 27-30mm Thanks.

Does anyone have any experience of this? I have trouble on the Fuego climbing the Hampshire hills which tend to be sharp [all right not as bad as the West Country]. Lots of wobbling below 6 mph, so I wondered if some help might not be a good thing, or am I just being stupid?

The rim on my 2008 rear Ksyrium SL is worn out and in the vain hope of keeping it alive for another year I've ordered the last available Ksyrium Elite S rim from a French website; the rim dimensions being identical although the Elite S is the black/silver finish. The parts pdfs show that both...

Basic question - If I get a QR lever, can it fit on to a bike which previously only had bolts to tighten it? Thanks

I am after a disc rear wheel, 11 speed, 700cc, looking to make rear turbo wheel, just had ACL reconstruction and need on turbo as part of rehab.

I've used the following on my Trek Alpha 1.5: - Bontrager wheels (came with bike) - 4.5k before rims wore, freehub replaced twice - Fulcrum Racing 7 - 4.5k before rims wore, sealed bearings replaced at 2k - Shimano WH501, hubs fine, rims worn at 3k I ride all through winter in hills etc so know...

Probably worth telling the whole sorry tale here... I had a gravel bike shipped over to my sister in Spain for me to use when I go over to visit and told the BIL to use it as he liked. Being a non-cyclist he decided to start off on a smart trainer to build up some fitness (it's pretty hilly...

Any techies out there know what bearing I should get as replacements in the Dia-Compe Gran Compe rear track hub?

Hi, Beginner here thinking about building my own bike. I'm looking at the Manufacturer's specifications for various frames, but one thing I'm not sure about is minimum wheel width. For example, I'm considering building a hybrid/adventure bike, so am looking for frames that take a reasonably...

I'm thinking of getting one. Tips etc for good use and hanger bending advice welcome and wanted.

Was out on my first club run today . 60miles round trip . On the ride the guy riding on the right of me ran over a stone and that stone hit my bike .thought nothing of it but I quickly heard a rubbing noise on my front calipers only under breaking . Took the wheel of to see if anything had...

Ideally park ts2 or similar

700c rear disc wheel and 10 speed 11-36 cassette. No good to me as I don't ride 10 speed or disc. Black rim but can't see a make. WHYTE hub. Looking for £25. All pickup only. North Manchester. Pickup Yellow steel Carerra forks. Very good condition. £8.

I was looking at the Boardman ADV 8.9 bike, and the wheels look to be laced off centre, one side of the rim sloes in and down towards the hub for about 3/4 of an inch, the other side slopes in and down towards the rim for about 5/8 of an inch. This means if the wheel is in the centre of the...

Looking at the disc brake versions and the lifetime warranty is a big plus. Any experiences of either. Importantly, given they are average width by modern standards (17mm internal and 25mm external) what width do your tyres rum on them? I'll be using 25mm Conti GP4000S.

My chain jumped off the outer jockey wheel last week - it had never done that before and I was a bit confused to the cause. So, after a proper clean I noticed that it was "slightly" worn. Suffice to say - check your jockey wheels after a few thousand miles! top - worn jockey wheel bottom -...
