Waynehans Posted July 17, 2013 Share I want to know if these wheels will fit into a normal road frame with dropouts????

droo Posted July 17, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerus Posted July 17, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waynehans Posted July 17, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAAD4 Posted July 17, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynehans Posted July 17, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the nerd Posted July 17, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
