    There isn't one, as far as I could see, so let's start a wheel building thread. (Maybe admins want to pin this?) This is the thread for anyone wanting info on wheel building, for anyone who builds wheels and for all guys who may want to learn this art.

    It's time to top up my tyre sealant and I'm wondering what the best sealant is for South African conditions? I've read online that Orange Sealant is great (although I've never seen it in SA stores) and apparently Stan's is crap. I've had some success previously with Enduro Seal. What's your experience and what do you use?

    I purchased a brand new Scott 17 Addict 20 Dec 2020, after riding the bike for around three weeks a spoke broke in the rear wheel Scotts response a spoke braking so soon is possible a "material fault on the spoke" New spoke fitted . Three rides later the rim in the same rear wheel started to split around the spokes. Scott fitted a new rim. Two rids later with the new rim fitted another broken spoke. I am now waiting for Scott to fit new wheels. By the time I get the new wheels fitted the bike has spent 5 weeks in my garage collect dust. I am very frustrated spending a lot of money on a new bike and it is problem after problem I am looking for help please Has anybody else experienced these type of problems on a new bike? What can I do do to overcome these problems ?

    Hi hubbers! I’m currently running 27.5 3.0 inch tyres on my Stumpy. Instead of swapping out to 29er wheels I’m looking at slapping some 2.8 Maxxis DHF tyres on it. But my only concern is that the BB height will drop by putting smaller tyres on. Can someone please advice me on if the smaller tyre size will drop the BB significantly? Would it be possible to put some 2.6 inch tyres on? Thanks everyone!

    So I have a set of each and I want to keep one and sell the other. I wanted to get a few opinions on what to keep and what to sell. I appreciate your opinions. Mavics have the alloy brake track.

    Hi guys, just putting a feeler out there. I have a set of Royal Traverse SL 38 rims (6fattie rims) that I’m thinking of selling. They are in fantastic condition and barely ridden. Only less than 10 rides on them so far. They currently retail new for R25k https://rovalcomponents.com/collections/trail/products/2019-traverse-sl-38 How much do you guys think they are worth second hand? Thanks!

    Good Morning. I recently won a set of tubular wheels. I have never ridden on tubulars before and did a lot of research on how to put the tyres on and everything about that. So last week the wheels were ready to ride. I put Continental Gatorskin 25mm tyres on which I thought should be the best puncture resistant. I also put some sealant in the tyre to prevent punctures. I read that people in the UK has gotten 1 000 miles+ on their tubular tyres without any issue. After the ride I fell in love with them and just want to ride the tubby's now. There's just that thought of a puncture in the back of my mind and also the cost involved in replacing such a tyre. My questions are: Is there anybody that can fix a puctured tubby? Who else trains with their tubular wheels? Should I only use the wheels for special occasions?Any views would be great. Thanks.

    Although not the first to launch properly wide rims, American Classic's Wide Lightning were the first to offer extra width in a light and strong rim. Billed for anything from XC to Enduro, we put them to test to see for ourselves how they hold up after months of real-life use. Click here to view the article

    Syntace is a name that I first recognised from my triathlon days as the makers of tri bars and other high-end products. Perhaps a little ahead of their time, the German company introduced their W-Series range of lightweight, super wide aluminium mountain bike wheels “way” back in 2012. Click here to view the article

    hi Hubbers, I have a question that I am sure the knowleadgable peeps can help me with, I am currently on a GT Zaskar carbon expert, with DT swiss 1800 wheels which have DT swiss hubs. I have a birthday coming up and am thinking of a wheel upgrade :-) I have narrowed it down to the following: ZTR Alpine 26er with DT swiss hubs rims are 330g+_ or WTB KOM i-23 TCS 650b with DT swiss hubs rims are 400g each obviously a 650b option would be nice, however the Alpine is not on offer as a 650b, next is the pricing, the Alpines are on special at around R666 per rim whereby the WTB are R792 per rim, not a huge diff in what is a cheap price, however the WTB are 70g heavier per rim. so my question is which ones should I get, does the fact that the WTB are 650b override the fact that the Alpines are lighter or is it the other way around! Just for the record I am 71kg, I ride a few races but don't throw the bike over jumps and what not, basic single track and jeep track riding and a bit of road now and then :-) Anyfeedback is welcome.. PS I was thinking of dropping the DT swiss for a Dirty Flea Hub as the Dt swiss I am using would be off the Zaskar, would their be much weight difference?

    In RISE, SRAM have engineered the perfect balance of weight, inertia, engagement and stiffness to give you the right ride for XC and beyond—the right feel and the right results. Quicker bursts, tighter turns, better rolling and easier climbs. Softer landings and smoother descents. Bigger wins. Louder cheers. Every wheel connects you to the ground. Only a few can carry you to new heights. Click here to view the article

    I just bought a new bike, without wheels, and want to use my old Shimano RS10 wheelset on the bike. Campagnolo groupo means new freebody, and being 11spd would have meant a new Shimano freebody - either way, it's now about which works out cheaper. QUestion is, where can I find a freebody for a Campagnolo cassette with the flower type formation of a Shimano freebody, which is 11spd compatible?

    Hi guys, Building a new bike and need advice on some new wheels. I want some fairly strong wheels on par with something like the Stan's Arch Ex or the Spank Oozy trail wheels but want to try avoid the price tag that comes with the "brand" of these ones. Anyone have any advice on great quality, small brand, wheels and/or hubs for 650B that will hold up to some hard trail riding? Any help at all would be great, Cheers!

    Would you source from a registered trading company directly out of Taiwan for your components? Higher end stuff will of course be cheaper, and group buying on tires etc will save a lot of money. What would be your concerns as a customer? Thanks. Expat in Taiwan

    Some advise please. I ride a Bianchi Centro Strada C2C that I absolutely love. I am considering upgrading the wheels and have no clue where to start. I weigh 82 kg and have been road riding for about 9 months. To start with, there are a few issues I'd really appreciate some input on: 1. I assume that it would be sacrilege to put anything other than Italian wheels on my Bianchi. The components are all Campagnola, so obviously that would appear to be the place to start. 2. Do I sell my current wheels (only done about 800 km), and put the sprocket on the new wheels? Then I would do all my riding on the new wheels only. Or should I have two sets of wheels? 3. Should I buy new from my LBS or can I buy second hand off the Hub? 4. I would like to stay under 10k all in with tyres, sprockets etc. Will I feel a real improvement in my ride at this price point? I love the "comfort" element of my ride. How do I upgrade without ruining this?

    Hi Hubbers I managed to pull the wool over my wife's eyes long enough to get her to agree to me buying a new bike . I'm going for the Scott Spark 910 and am considering changing the stock Syncros wheels for Mavic Crossmax ST's. Not sure this is necessary though - can anyone advise me on the Syncros wheels? Would I benefit significantly with the Mavic's? The specs: Syncros XR2.0 rims with DT Swiss Aero Comp spokes and Syncros XR2.0 CL / 12 x 142 / RWS hub (made by DT Swiss). I weigh 90kgs and do exclusively cross-country/marathons. Any advice would be appreciated.
