Found wheel in garage that was on blue bike. In good nick too :) Back wheel can last a bit longer (less braking). It will need rebuilding due to hub gear. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4645#post-49287 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 20:57:27 +0000 kaputnik 49287@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Amir - no they just stock Pros but will be happy to build on a Sport if you order and take them in. They can order Sports too but advised me possibly quicker / cheaper to source my own online. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4645#post-49285 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 20:49:32 +0000 DaveC 49285@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I guy cycling in Falkland the other month had his rims wear out catastrophically when cycling into Falkland. Fortunately he was riding in on the road form the north not the steep decent from Lomond Hill. Had to get his wife to drive out and collect him. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4645#post-49283 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 20:32:01 +0000 amir 49283@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well I'd be fork out then. Bicycle works will do this at a reasonable price but for Open Pros. Might be a bit cheaper with Open Sport but I'll have to see if they stock them. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4645#post-49282 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 19:39:50 +0000 kaputnik 49282@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'd say so! My Shimano R500s lasted about 5000 miles until hubs died and rims were badly worn (indicator line no longer visible) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4645#post-49281 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 19:33:09 +0000 amir 49281@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was trying to work out why my new brake blocks were juddering the front wheel on braking. The catch in the same place each turn. So I was feeling the wheel rim to check for any obvious distortion. What I did note was the rim is really concave. Does that mean it's time to replace the rims? Wheels have done 7k miles in commuting conditions. </p>
