Re: Road wheels on a mountain bike?
I've gone hte second-set-of-wheels route. If you're prepared to be patient, you can pick up some good deals on eBay. This is in Aussie dollars, so reduce by 20% if in the US. Postage is included in the values.
Conti Sport Contact 1.3's, 100km old $36.00 Alex TD17's with skewers seondhand in new condition $140-odd SRAM PG850 8-speed cassette new in box $48 Hayes (Alligator) discs new just under $50 for a pair Torx disc mounting screws - about $2.50 from local industrial supply co Although, I couldn't help myself - a set of Hayes 9 hydraulic brakes for under $150 (no discs).  I did destroy my plastic tyre levers getting the Conti's on, so add $12 for a set of steel core levers.  |

Re: Road wheels on a mountain bike?
Hi All,
Just a reply to let anyone who is interested in this thread know what I did. I got the Specialised fatboys and didn't really have much trouble fitting them. I think I have done probably a few hundred kms on them since and I am definately going quicker, in the range of 25-28 km/hr. Much easier to pedal than with the knobbly mtb tires. On the weekend though I did get a puncture, and it took a chunk out of the tire (it was a bit of glass), which is about 3mm at its widest point. Hope this hole doesn't cause any further punctures. Tim. |
