Cycling and your child feedback: IMPORTANT!
A quick question:
is there anything wrong with the Vuelta ZeroLite Corsa wheelset? They seem remarkably cheap, and (to my eyes) they look rather nice. They're not heading for a huge amunt of use - I just fancy building a frame into something 'pretty' for short rides when I don't need to take the tourer, and perhaps I'll take a look at the TTs organised by one of the local clubs. I know the panel would recommend handbuilt, but I can always have a go at tuning them with a spoke key - I was wondering if the hub bearings are going to collapse and the rims buckle at the first sign of use. Considering a pair myself but after reading this I'd like to see what you and David think of yours first - hopefully the person below just got a duff one (think both wheels are similar, but crosser has bladed spokes): **************** From rec.bicycles.tech: "My brother in-law has recently purchased a Battaglin with some strange-looking Vuelta Wheels Rims 33 mm 24 bladed spokes 2X laced 2 right/2left The backwheel feels very unstable when riding, it wobbles to the point where you can see the chain vibrating sidewards when coasting. I have checked the spokes, and they are not twisted. The hubs run ok. Could this be a matter of to low spoketension or is the 2 right/2 left pattern simply a bad design? Any suggestions appreciated. Jens D. Jensen (yes, 36 3x well-built wheels are superior, I ride then myself)" **************** |
