Wheels

[Andy230262]

Hi All. Since fitting a Bafang 750w motor I have done about 400 miles. A couple of weeks ago I broke a couple of spokes on the rear wheel. I had it repaired and the guy said that if they break again get a new set of wheels. The wheels are 14 years old. Has anyone else had problems with their wheels? Also does anyone recommend a good strong set of wheels at a reasonable price.

I saw a guy riding a mountain bike with magwheels yesterday - must be convenient, no spokes to worry about. I have no idea how long magwheels last, or if they are any good.

 

[Andy230262]

I have been looking at mag wheels? They are strong but how would you fit the speed magnet on them ?

Good question - my worry in using any sort of glue, is that it could weaken the magwheel.

Cost more than most bikes, what a complete joke.
In fact I dont even think professional road racing wheels come in at that price.
