March 7, 20179 yr I would like another set of wheels to have a different tyre selection, it seems a lot easier to change wheels than tyres. Is it as simple as buy the bits and put them together ? I want to drop in and out different wheels with everything fitted. Not looking for a Rolls Royce, Mondeo will do me fine, just want good quality and works. Are these the right size bits and is it straight forward to put together. From Chain reaction does this look right for my Sduro 29 SL, will use tubes. Open to advice as I know nothing about it at all. Preference is to buy all from one supplier for ease.

March 7, 20179 yr looks all ok to me tho the wheels dont have sealed bearings but they are bottom end wheel set. discs just bolt on and same with the cassette tho you need this to tighten it on the wheel. http://www.tweekscycles.com/Product.do?method=view&n=3338&p=23018&d=124&c=4&l=2&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=Base&utm_campaign=Tools%20&%20Maintenance&gclid=CjwKEAiA0fnFBRC6g8rgmICvrw0SJADx1_zAGGOXc7mSiD7eRCxNXRQe07POPH-NEKIFXgi0Dx-duxoCrbDw_wcB
March 7, 20179 yr Author When you say bottom end you mean cheap not some technical description ? A sealed bearing set will cost and an example might be ?

March 7, 20179 yr http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/dt-swiss-rws-mtb-steel/rp-prod81161 decent wheel sets dont come with any of that https://www.crankbrothers.com/accessories_split-qr-skewer Edited March 7, 20179 yr by soundwave
March 7, 20179 yr Author Still all good in the price range happy to go for that. Any thing else tool wise to fit the cassette ?
March 7, 20179 yr you will need a chin whip to remove it thats all you need imo. my cb wheels when new in 2014 was £500 each.
March 7, 20179 yr Author This one ok http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/park-tool-sprocket-remover-chain-whip-sr-1/rp-prod5646 Do I have to get that Park Tool FR4C as it will have to come from tweeks
March 7, 20179 yr yeah you might as well as you will have to take it off one day when it is worn out.
March 7, 20179 yr Author Including a set of elbow protectors that is £ 370, so a bargain compared to just one of yours. I did not want the best, just good, which is fine for me. Thank you for your advice, I will put the pictures up when I have built them. Or bring them down for you to put right if it all goes Pete Tong.
March 7, 20179 yr there cheaper now mind. https://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/product/70696/Crank_Brothers_Iodine_3_27_5_Inch_Wheelset_Black_Silver?gclid=CjwKEAiA0fnFBRC6g8rgmICvrw0SJADx1_zAn21UKrOv0lTsnUSA56nM3BwBUhQGjX-I_lN136GVLxoC8dvw_wcB
March 7, 20179 yr Author Those cobalt wheels look good and they are eBike rated. Also a very complementary reviewer said: "Excelente roda, me enviaram com todos os acessórios para usar em vários tamanhos de suspensão, enviaram também os bicos para tubeless, tudo perfeito, muito bem embalado também" Who could argue with that ?
March 7, 20179 yr Since you're buying a new wheelset,tires,etc...You want to look into a 27+ setup. I'm sure you'll have plenty of clearance with your 29er. Definitely go tubeless to minimize the possibility of flats too.
March 7, 20179 yr Another thing to watch out for is hub and axle sizes. The ones you looked at got QR axles. You may have thru axles on your bike.
March 8, 20179 yr err they come with both end caps for axle or qr. Cool! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
March 9, 20179 yr Hi IR772 Don't know if this interests you or not. PM me if it does. Some time back, like you, I decided I would like a spare wheelset for my 2014 Cube Reaction Hybrid Race 29 so that I could put thinner road tyres on and just change wheels, not the hassle of tyres. Shortly after that the opportunity of a really good deal came up on a KTM bike. So now I have an even better solution. A trekking bike and a MTB, both with the same drivetrain, engine, battery etc. This leaves me with a complete pair of very lightly used 29er wheels hanging up in the garage doing nothing. They are complete with hubs, skewers, discs, tyres and 10 speed casette. They are sunringle rims (with green flashes), Rapid Rob front tyre, Continental Trail King rear tyre, (both with little wear) 180 disc on front, 160 on rear. The 10 speed cassette is part of an XT drive train. If this link works it should take you to a decent size photo of the bike http://www.damianharriscycles.co.uk/prod/ele_0017_cz/cube-reaction-hybrid-race-29-2014-electric-bike Anyway, as I say, if they are of any interest to you ... or anyone else ... just PM me and I'm sure we could agree a sensible price. Cheers Tony
March 9, 20179 yr Author Oh FFS. Typical! I should have waited! Chain reaction delivering tomorrow, thanks for the offer they would have been perfect for me as I an not a keen mechanic.
March 9, 20179 yr yeah but you got some bad ass wheels now as you only get wheels like that on the top end bikes. wait till you pick one up and compare it to what you have id say you just taken off at least 500g over both wheels
March 9, 20179 yr Oh FFS. Typical! I should have waited! Chain reaction delivering tomorrow, thanks for the offer they would have been perfect for me as I an not a keen mechanic. Sorry .. only noticed the post tonight. Still like SW says .. enjoy those light wheels Guess you've prompted me to advertise them on the for sale section
March 9, 20179 yr Author Thanks for the offer. Best of luck selling them. I have the SW guarantee that what I have bought will all fit together.
