What is the axle type and spacing?

What is the approximate weight of the wheel?

The approximate weight of the wheel is 1.274kg, but this can vary slightly.

Where is this wheel manufactured?

Troubleshooting

Wheel does not spin freely.

Check that the Quick Release skewer is not overtightened, pinching the hub bearings. Ensure no debris is obstructing the rotation of the hub or rim.

Brakes are rubbing on the rim.

Verify that the wheel is properly seated in the dropouts and the Quick Release is securely fastened. Check that the brake pads are aligned correctly with the rim and not contacting the tire. Ensure the wheel is true; if not, it may need truing.

Cassette is not shifting smoothly.

Confirm the correct number of cassette spacers (if any) were used during installation. Adjust your rear derailleur's indexing and limit screws. Ensure the derailleur hanger is straight.

Noisy hub.

While this wheel is designed for smooth performance, bearing noise can develop over time. If the hub becomes noisy, it may require professional servicing or bearing replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This rear wheel is designed for road bikes using 700C wheel size, rim brakes, and 8–10 speed cassette drivetrains. It features a standard Quick Release (QR) axle with a 130mm spacing, common on most road bikes. Note that this wheel is a cassette body, meaning you will need to install a compatible 8-10 speed cassette. Rim tape is not included and must be purchased separately to protect the inner tube from spoke holes.

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a compatible 8–10 speed cassette and a suitable cassette lockring tool.
  2. Install the cassette onto the freehub body, ensuring it is correctly seated and secured with the lockring.
  3. Mount the wheel onto your bicycle's rear dropouts, ensuring the axle is fully seated.
  4. Secure the wheel using the Quick Release skewer.
  5. Adjust your derailleur if necessary to ensure smooth shifting across all cogs.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the rim brake surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that could affect braking performance. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Inspection: Periodically check spoke tension and wheel trueness. If the wheel appears out of true or spokes feel loose, it may require professional truing.
  • Storage: Store the wheel in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
