Building up a tough bike or need to replace a bent rim? This 26-inch wheelset is built to last. The rims are double-wall aluminum alloy, which means they're strong but not super heavy. The real beef comes from the spokes: they're 10-gauge and there are 36 of them per wheel. That's a lot of spokes, making these wheels super sturdy for mountain biking, commuting, or just general abuse. They're laced to high-quality flanges with sealed hubs for smooth rolling and less maintenance. The front hub is 100mm wide, the rear is 135mm - standard sizes for a lot of older and modern 26-inch frames. The rear wheel is set up for a freewheel (the kind where the gears thread on), and it's compatible with single-speed, 7, 8, or 9-speed cassettes. The axles are solid, 10mm in diameter. They also have a disc brake mount (6-bolt style) and the measurements are set for a 44mm distance from the center of one spoke hole to the next. These are no-nonsense, reliable wheels ready for your next project or to get your favorite bike back on the trail. Just add tires, a freewheel/cassette, and rotors if you're running discs.
