Garfield2010 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Are wheels designed to work as a pair? What if My rear wheel which was really expensive breaks. Is it better to buy a new wheelset or can I put a cheap rear wheel on with the expensive deep carbon front wheel for the time being? I know it will look *** but who cares??

Minion Posted July 19, 2011 Share Nothing wrong with that (aside from looks, as you've pointed out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted July 19, 2011 Share No....no......no. ...No self respecting cyclist will ever put a cheap wheel with a carbon deep section. Besides you might come to the horrible conclusion that there is no loss of performance when you replaced the carbon wheel with the cheap one.

Minion Posted July 19, 2011 Share What you need to do is cut up an old tin can and place it around the the hub on the cheap rear wheel. That way, everyone will think you're using a Powertap, making the wheel more acceptable: http://lh4.ggpht.com/_Wo8yCZ1eTVw/TJ0eJaH9fOI/AAAAAAAAh3g/mht7chOjpSQ/IMG_0528%5B3%5D.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield2010 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Haha! How about if I improvise my own deepsecitions with foil? And then put a piece of cardboard in as well so it sounds like a motorcycle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield2010 Posted July 19, 2011 Share I am going to put the one *** wheel with the nice one and be at every single race. Sooner or later TNT1 will be so pissed off that he will donate his wheels! Maybe I should also do a manual spray job on my full carbon frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
