Heavy Duty 12 Gauge 26 Inch x 1.25 Inch Rim Set

Initially I thought the wheels were bad, then I realized my tires weren't inflated lol, lets talk about these wheels. If you buy spoked wheels that aren't built and custom, do not expect them to be trued. I see negative reviews and what it appears to be is people buy these $100 wheels thinking they're going to get a trued wheel. You should expect to take them to a bike shop and get them trued. Now, let's talk about the quality of the wheels. They're steel wheels which have a weld spot because they're steel and it isn't cast aluminum. There is going to be a minor wobble. On disc brake wheels it isn't as bad as the hub still spins straight, I would not buy the rim brake version though. The hardware isn't bad at all. As a matter of fact, one cool part about the wheels is on the axles, one side has the hardware essentially stuck on. This means you only have to worry about the other side when tightening down your cone nuts etc. I've worked with wheels where you have to measure and center the axle and keep re-taking measurements. Having axles where the hardware is stuck on is actually pretty smart. I suggest getting a good NLGL #3 grease which is thicker than #2. The ball bearings are 1/4. Also, the O.L.D dimension (fork and dropout) dimensions are 100mm on the front wheel and 120mm on the rear wheel. You may need to use additional 7.5mm jam nuts to space it out to 135mm if needed. For the price, you really can't complain. The guy who trued them said he's seen better weld spots, but it definitely isn't the worse

The front wheel was unusable. The rear wheel wasn't much better. Not sure if the cause was the packaging which seemed to offer no protection for the wheels. Or the manufacturing.

Nicer than the picture they look very nice on my bike.

I like these wheels, rims. I have bought many sets of these rims. I build motorized bikes, not as many as I would like to be able to build. I have sold a few, and most of the bike's I have sold has had a set of these rims on it... At first when I started ordering these wheels, I was getting exactly what I was ordering, but then something happened. I normally would order a set for a cruiser of some kind, and at first I getting a set of rims for a single speed bike with coaster brake. So I would order a set with a rear freewheel, Non disc brake ready... Which meant I would get exactly what I was needing. I didn't have to modify anything at all. The main drive sprocket I have to mount would fit perfectly over the hub. I always do away with the coaster brake, and replace them with the rim brakes. Both front and back. So I would also get sets of brakes too..... But... At some point I went to order the exact same thing on a set of rims, or wheels and I believe they were out of stock on that rear freewheel Non disc brake ready and so I did wait for a short time before trying to order, cause I wanted to order exactly what I had been ordering, but it like, it was taking to long to get what I had been ordering. So I gave in and ordered a set of rims with 12g spokes, freewheel, Disc brake ready set. Both the front and back were disc brake ready. Ever since then, ever since that time, it makes No difference that I check the box saying NON DISC brake ready!!! I always get the disc brake ready ones. It makes No difference whatsoever that I need the Non..... I will get the disc brake ready, and then I have to modify the rear wheel. I don't send them back mainly because by the time I get the rims I have spent all that I can and cannot pay the shipping to send them back, and like I said it makes No difference that I mark non, or check the Non disc brake ready box. I'm going get the one that I will have to drill into the holes where the disc brake goes, drill through, all the way through in order to be able to mount the sprocket..

A lot of you know me online for making builds of every kind dissecting them and showing you step by step how to fix it. complex builds of every kind Ms460,ms660,minarellis,piagios, big bore cvt 4 strokes now even big bore cvt 2 stroke. which i will be using these rims on "once i fix them!" "I don't get paid ever to reviews for items and i never write them for items or cash. I don't even make cash off my how to videos or review videos it all goes to NPO helps disabled kids and veterans" With this said i have been asked many times to review these wheels. I bought this exact set and few from other venders over last 2 years. I can tell you this. Every set from every vender i have purchased has come from the exact same warehouses in canada shipped to usa to be drop shipped by various sellers with logos on them for that seller. some don't even go that far. there is actually a stamp on these wheels no matter the rim type or shape and are all made by 2 same factories out of china. hub is made in one place, Rims are rolled steel and made in another place. The spoke always come lose and they do this for a reason! Ball cups are almost never fully seated. Why is this important? it is what your 8 ball bearings roll on inside your hub. If you look close at your hub as i have just shown in a short video on the ones i just purchased from this vender there is lines on the cups. they call these give points. when they are formed they make these so you can press steel into another steel part not have them deform. when you see one side sticking out and one not! you will now have a hop in your wheel cause the hub no longer true and the balls are rolling on a slight angle. this will lead to wear and it will at some point become lose and the balls will reform the cup making parts thinner then other parts if not corrected out of the box. second the axles are just cold rolled steel and have a tempered outer shell. these are not fully tempered axles. case hardened axles. which also is a death sentence along with 8 ball V nut. I wanted to point out. Price. You are getting a: 1) sold rim 2) thick spokes 12G 3) decent hub (with horrible cups in it) With that said as a person built 100's wheels now many on my channel for motorized bicycles. that alone is a good value for the price these sell for! cause it is about what it cost for the materials! "But be aware! axle,cups and hardware are pure garbage!" for a motorized bicycle build will kill out of the box some point! These few items are east to replace with some well known parts and do not cost very much at all! or you find a good well made donner wheel and just swap it over!" So if your willing to put in some work to make these well running wheels that are going to make your motorized bicycle pretty safe and run well on these just keep this in mind. I have run these on now one few builds. broken axles to ball cups exploding to the inserted sideways cups as this set came! BIGGEST ERROR ON THESE OUT FO THE BOX: "No grease in front hub period" So please if you buy these look them over well They are not bad wheels but like everything in the hobby you need to make sure it's assembled well and safe to use! cause out of the box mine for sure are not!
