Where to find cheap rear training wheels?

[Snails]

Hi guys,

 

Could anyone give me some advice as to where in Johannesburg I could find a couple of cheap (second-hand?) rear wheels for use on the trainer? I would presume that if my current rear wheel has a 10-speed cassette, I'd need to have a 10-speed cassette on the training wheel? Anything else I should be wary of?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hey bru,

 

The classifieds is a good place to start. Here is something: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/61654-road-bike-rear-wheelnewalex-rimshimano-hub/

 

ITO the gearing, you would need a new/second hand ten speed cassette or take the current one off your racing wheels and use it on the indoor trainer. Best would be to get a second hand cassette (Campy or Shimano/SRAM?) and put it on your second hand wheel.

Different wheels can fit differently/have the cassette fit differently.

Likewise, different cassette types (Shimano vs Sram) may fit differently.

This may require minor adjustments to the RD everytime you cange the wheel.
