new rear wheel....
Hiya. I'm looking to get a spare rear wheel to leave the turbo tyre on. Do I have to look for a specific spindal or anything to be compatable with my current one?
- (i'm planning to change the cassette at the same time to give a wider range.)

The wheel needs to be compatible with whatever cassette you need to suit your mechs/shifters etc. So if you use say campag 9 speed the wheel needs to be able to fit a campag 9 speed cassette. Shimano 10 speed cassettes will fit a shimano 9 speed hub though I think not vice versa - at least not in all cases. So yes basically you need to check it's compatible.
thanks...
so if im buying on the web, what words am I looking for? or is this something beter done in the real world?
I've seen compag wheels, but not much in the way of compat info on generic wheels.
(it's a compag 10 speed casset i've got)
Its an easy enough job if you have the tools and know what you're doing, but if you havent - I'd prob nip down the local bike shop - get something off him and flutter your eyelashes and get him to swap the blocks over ? And its Campag - dont ask for compag !
ooops. i id know that. I was planning to have a go and then flutter my eyes at a local pirate when I failed.
there's an evans and a cycle surgery near work.... would either be good?
