Need set of wheels that would serve me well both for time trials and hill climb races. Can anyone help? Thanks. George

The answer is no.This bike is heavy and made with cheap components. After about 200 miles this bike will expolde.

You're riding on street right? I would assume since you're looking for a road bike. I owned one for awhile. When I first got it, the rim was bent, contacted amazon, the shipped a new bike out and told me to take what I needed and ship it back. If you're tall, it may be a little to small. I'm 5ft 11 and it was fine for me. The only issue is the pedals are kinda low, so if you take a sharp turn and your foot is extended all the way your pedal will hit the asphalt. If I were you, I would save up extra $$ and get a better bike. It's a decent bike but you spend a few hundred more and get a lot better bike.

Depends on what you want. I purchased some hpi xpatterns for the street and pirelli rallies for off road. Wheels are 26mm width 1.9's... With a 12mm hex. I would definitely suggest upgrading the hexes to a harder plastic (i.e. traxxas) or metal.. Either way have fun!!!

http://www.srsuntour-cycling.com/home/ talk to sun tour and they should be able to send what you need. I don't think you will need parts for them. I use my forks for down hill and they are still as good as I bought them!

Recommend buy the spokes, (freewheel remover & rim , asneeded) and build yourself. It is not that hard and there are a few good books that explain the various techniques.For the cost of a handful of spokes and about 2 hours work you will not only have a good wheel, but also the experience and understanding for keeping wheels round and true; which all regular riders should have.The Bike Buff

I would think that you could order wheels most anywhere...on Amazon, or purchase at your local hardware store. Check directly with the company and ask them if they make wheels for these.

The wheels seem to come dished for 6/7 speed. You may have to re dish if you stick with the 5 speed. I finally swapped my hoops for 700c because good tires were so hard to find for 27in.

what may want to consider is the size of the wheels, and the stiffness of the pivot bushing. i usually run 50-52 mm wheels and i like the pivot kinda tight so its not to wobbly and the wheels dont bite the board in corners

Hello,These wheels are currently available. You should have no problem mounting a 275/55R20 tire on these wheels.Thank you,Danny Diaz Wheel Specialist

I don't have cyclocross experience, but these wheels feel just as strong as my other sets (mavic and shimano) and they have gone well in some filthy/rainy rides with no issues with sand and dirt getting into the bearings. For the money, I'd give them a try for cyclocross.

I think the tires are great. If you ride them under the standard air pressure 100psi. Any tire well ware fast..

The wheels are pretty good. I haven't had any issues with them. To me, they seem quite sturdy.

I've asked the manufacturer this question, and the answer I received was somewhat mixed. He has had folks with Gem Cars purchase these wheels/tires, then return them because they didn't fit correctly. He also mentioned that he has another vendor that uses these wheels/tires exclusively on Gem Cars. I'm sorry for sounding vague on this answer, but that's the answer I got. These are standard fitting golf cart wheels and tires, so if you can find a forum or message thread on Gem Cars, and ask other owners if they've had luck putting aftermarket wheels/tires on their carts, that's probably the route I would take. I hope that helps a little...Happy New Year!

try getting Robinson Racing 1050 48p Six Pack Pinion 16/26t and experiment to see what speed set-up works best.

They worked well for me. They should work for you also, as long as your wheels are close to the 76mm size. Bob
