This 700c hybrid front wheel from KX Wheels is designed for riders of hybrid, commuter, and trekking bikes who need a durable and reliable wheel, especially for disc brake setups.

No, this product is for the front wheel only and does not include a tire, tube, or rim tape.
No, this wheel is specifically designed for 6-bolt disc brakes and is not compatible with rim brakes.
The internal rim width is 19mm and the external width is 24mm. While it's designed for hybrid/commuter setups, it's best to check tire manufacturer recommendations for rims with a 19mm internal width.
It uses a 36-hole front hub with a 100mm spacing and a standard 9mm Quick Release (QR) axle.
Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid pressure washing the hub. Periodically check spoke tension and ensure the disc rotor and brake pads remain clean.
While durable, this wheel is primarily designed for hybrid, commuter, and trekking bikes. For demanding mountain biking, a more robust wheelset might be necessary.
Information on specific warranty periods should be checked with the retailer or KX Wheels directly, as it's not detailed in the product description.
Check spoke tension. If uneven, consult a professional bike mechanic for truing. Minor wobbles can sometimes be addressed by carefully tightening spokes on the side that is too loose.
Verify that the rotor is a 6-bolt type and is being installed in the correct orientation. Ensure no debris is present between the rotor and the hub mounting surface.
Ensure the QR skewer is correctly inserted through the hub and that the cam mechanism is functioning. Check for any damage to the skewer or fork dropouts.
Ensure the correct tire size is used for the 19mm internal rim width. Apply a small amount of soapy water to the tire bead to help it seat evenly. Ensure rim tape is correctly installed and covering all spoke holes.
Setup: This is a front wheel only. Ensure your frame has standard 100mm front fork spacing and is designed to accommodate a 9mm Quick Release axle. Mount your 6-bolt disc rotor securely to the hub. Inflate your tire to the recommended pressure, ensuring proper seating on the 19mm internal rim width. Note that rim tape is not included and must be purchased separately.
Compatibility: This wheel is exclusively compatible with 6-bolt disc brake systems. It is not compatible with rim brakes. It is designed for 700c (ETRTO 622) tire sizes, commonly found on hybrid, commuter, and trekking bicycles.
Care: Regularly clean the rim and hub with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Check spoke tension periodically and true the wheel if necessary. For disc brake performance, keep the rotor and brake pads clean and free from contaminants. Avoid high-pressure washing directly onto the hub bearings.
