FAQs

Does this wheel come with a cassette?

No, the KX 700C Rear Road Wheel is sold separately from the cassette. You will need to purchase an 8, 9, or 10-speed cassette to install on the freehub body.

Is rim tape included with this wheel?

No, rim tape is not included with this wheel and must be purchased and installed separately before you mount your tire and tube.

What type of tires can I use with this wheel?

This is a clincher wheel, meaning it is designed for use with clincher tires and tubes. The external rim diameter is 19mm and the internal diameter is 14mm, suitable for typical road bike tires.

Can I use this wheel with disc brakes?

No, this wheel is specifically designed for use with rim brakes only. It does not have mounting points for disc brake rotors.

What is the weight of the wheel?

The approximate weight of the wheel is 1.274kg. Please note that wheel weights can be approximate.

How do I clean the wheel?

Clean the wheel with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the braking surface (the rim) is free of dirt and debris for optimal brake performance.

What is the warranty period for this wheel?

Information regarding warranty is not provided in the product details. Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's website for specific warranty information.

Troubleshooting

Wheel is not spinning freely or is rubbing.

Check that the quick-release lever is properly tightened and that the wheel is seated correctly in the dropouts. Ensure brake pads are not misaligned and are not contacting the rim excessively. Verify that the cassette is correctly installed and not rubbing against the frame or derailleur.

Brakes are not engaging effectively.

Clean the rim surface thoroughly with a degreaser or mild soap and water. Check the brake pads for wear and ensure they are properly aligned with the rim braking surface. Adjust brake cable tension if necessary.

Wheel feels wobbly or out of true.

This may indicate a need for spoke tension adjustment or wheel truing. It is recommended to take the wheel to a professional bike mechanic for inspection and repair.

Cassette is not shifting smoothly.

Ensure the cassette is compatible (8-10 speed) and correctly installed. Check your bicycle's derailleur adjustment, as this is often the cause of shifting issues rather than the wheel itself.

Care:
