Buckled rim, loose free wheel. Can I buy a rear wheel only

[Peter Armstrong]

So not only is my rim buckled on my mavic aksium rear wheel but my free hub has play. To save money can I buy a rear wheel on its own.

I want a rear wheel that as light or lighter than my existing wheel but fancy one a bit more aero. Only wanna spend 200-300. Any ideas peeps?

yes you can

What about this? There's 43% off!!!
Will it fit with all my current stuff. E.g. 10 speed shimano and tires off my mavic

Mainly for racing ... you would have to going over 30 mph to getting any advantage for a 50mm wheel

Just get another Aksium

That's great, I like the advantage when going over 30mph. I also would like to do some races this year too. So what are the disadvantages?

 

[Peter Armstrong]

Arrr what about the avic Cosmic, slightly deeper rim only 30mm. Only thing it says it a M11 Freehub, and i dont know if its compatable

I sugested replacing the wheel with like for like. as for non-matching wheels, then I'll come over and give you a slap. It's not allowed !

Or upgrade both. But if its a commuting wheel, don't get something too flash unless you have money to burn.
