Product Information

Full details

This KX Wheels Cassette Disc Brake Rear Wheel is designed for cyclists seeking a durable and reliable rear wheel for their road bike, featuring a cassette disc brake mount for enhanced stopping power and a quick-release axle for easy installation. Built with over 50 years of wheel-building expertise, it offers a high standard of finish. A potential consideration is its specific compatibility with 8-10 speed cassettes and its weight, which may be a factor for performance-focused riders.

FAQs

Is this wheel compatible with tubeless tires?

The product description does not specify tubeless compatibility. It is designed as a standard clincher wheel. Please check the specific rim model or consult the manufacturer for tubeless compatibility.

Can I use this wheel with an 11-speed cassette?

This rear hub is designed to accommodate 8, 9, and 10-speed cassettes. For 11-speed compatibility, a wider hub body or specific freehub might be required, which is not indicated for this model.

What type of pedals should I use?

This question seems unrelated to the rear wheel. Pedal choice depends on your bicycle type and riding style.

How do I clean the disc brake rotor?

Clean the disc brake rotor with isopropyl alcohol and a clean cloth. Avoid touching the rotor surface with bare hands as oils from your skin can contaminate it and reduce braking performance.

What is the warranty on this wheel?

Product information regarding warranty is not provided in the product data. Please refer to the retailer or KX Wheels for warranty details.

Can this wheel be used for mountain biking?

While the doublewall rim offers durability, this wheel is primarily designed for road cycling. Its specifications (like 130mm QR axle) are typical for road bikes. For aggressive mountain biking, a wheelset with wider spacing and stronger construction may be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Wheel is not spinning freely.

Check if the quick-release skewer is over-tightened, which can bind the hub bearings. Loosen slightly. Also, ensure the disc brake pads are not rubbing excessively on the rotor.

Brakes are noisy or not effective.

Ensure the disc rotor and brake pads are clean and free from contamination. Check pad alignment and rotor trueness. Bed in new brake pads according to manufacturer instructions.

Cassette is skipping or not engaging properly.

Verify that the correct 8-10 speed cassette is installed and that the derailleur hanger is straight. Adjust derailleur indexing if necessary.

Spokes feel loose.

Spoke tension should be checked and adjusted by a qualified bicycle mechanic. Uneven tension can lead to wheel instability.
