FAQs
What type of braking system is this wheel designed for?
This rear wheel is designed for 6-bolt disc brake systems.
Does this wheel come with a skewer?
The product description indicates a Q/R axle (135mm), which typically includes a Quick Release skewer. However, it's always best to confirm with the retailer.
What is the warranty period for KX Wheels?
Specific warranty information is not provided in the product details. Please refer to the point of purchase or the manufacturer's official website for warranty terms.
Can I use this wheel with a tubeless tire setup?
The specifications mention rim dimensions but do not explicitly state tubeless compatibility. Tubeless setups require specific rim tape and sealant. Users should verify compatibility with their chosen tubeless tire and rim tape.
How do I clean the wheel effectively?
Clean the wheel with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or high-pressure jets directly onto the hub bearings.
What is the approximate weight of the wheel?
The approximate weight of the wheel is 1.416kg. Please note that wheel weights can be approximate.
What is the internal rim width, and what tire sizes does it support?
The internal rim diameter (width) is 21mm. This width typically supports a range of MTB tires suitable for cross-country and trail riding.
Troubleshooting
Wheel does not spin freely
Check for obstructions around the hub or brake rotor. Ensure the Quick Release skewer is not overtightened, causing drag on the hub bearings. If persistent, bearing service may be required.
Tire is difficult to seat or inflates unevenly
Ensure you are using the correct size tire for the 21mm internal rim width. Check that the rim strip is correctly installed and centered. Gradually inflate the tire, ensuring it seats evenly on both sides.
Cassette does not engage properly
Verify that the cassette is compatible (8-11 speed). Ensure it is fully seated on the freehub body and the lockring is tightened correctly.
Wheel appears untrue or wobbly
Spoke tension may be uneven. It is recommended to have the wheel trued by a qualified bicycle mechanic. Minor adjustments can be made by tightening or loosening individual spokes.
