Waynehans Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 I want to know if these wheels will fit into a normal road frame with dropouts???? The come with flip/flop hubs? http://www.aerofixcycles.com/aerofix-cycles-fixie-50mm-wheelsets/aerofix-fixie-bike-50mm-matte-black-wheelset.html
droo Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Yup. But if you want to make a fixie you'll need a track frame with horizontal dropouts or you'll battle to get the chain tension right.
Waynehans Posted July 17, 2013 Author Posted July 17, 2013 Yup. But if you want to make a fixie you'll need a track frame with horizontal dropouts or you'll battle to get the chain tension right. Nope, i wanna stay single speed. Just dont wanna get wheels and the don't fit

The come with flip/flop hubs? http://www.aerofixcy...k-wheelset.html Those look sweet, If you do go ahead, I'll come into the deal with you. I'm also currently looking for wheels for my S/S build.

Tumbleweed Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Nope, i wanna stay single speed. Just dont wanna get wheels and the don't fit I stand corrected, but some older rear track hubs are a bit narrower that road hubs.
Waynehans Posted July 17, 2013 Author Posted July 17, 2013 When they reply, i will get the hub specs aswell
Caerus Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Yup. But if you want to make a fixie you'll need a track frame with horizontal dropouts or you'll battle to get the chain tension right. Not at all, get a chain tensioner, and it can be done without the chain tensioner as well.
Caerus Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 OK Cool. I have emailed them to find out the shipping costs. Will let you know when i got the info!! Please keep me in the loop once you here something. Are the spokes black? They look black to me
Waynehans Posted July 17, 2013 Author Posted July 17, 2013 Please keep me in the loop once you here something. Are the spokes black? They look black to me I will. Not sure, web doesnt say, but does look black
Cat2forLife Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Hey guys! I'd maybe like a set as well. Will you keep me in the loop about shipping costs and hub specs etc. as well? Caerus 1
Waynehans Posted July 17, 2013 Author Posted July 17, 2013 When I get the reply I will post here. then we can decide!!! Also got this company in the UK. Not as many colours, but cool wheels aswell http://www.espressowheels.com/store.html
CAAD4 Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 I have tried so many companies in the UK and the USA for these type of wheels, but no one would ship to SA. I gave up and bought Campy wheels locally. Hopefully you come right. Pniel the Hubber bought Espresso wheels for his bike a while ago.
Waynehans Posted July 17, 2013 Author Posted July 17, 2013 In the UK and USA i got a friend. I will do payment and deliver to him. They will then do the postage if the companies are full of crap.
Cat2forLife Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) Those Espresso wheels are almost R800 cheaper than the Aerofix ones Edit:Sorry.. That's for the rim only.. Wasn't payng attention Edited July 17, 2013 by Hayseed Waynehans 1
the nerd Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Not at all, get a chain tensioner, and it can be done without the chain tensioner as well. I wouldnt run fixed with a tensioner... just search online and you will see some injuries... droo 1
