The stock rear wheel on my Schwinn Point Beach bit the big one !!!!
I was riding along and all of a sudden pop..pop..pop spokes started breaking and then the wheel started to warp until it snaged on the brake pad.
I got my bike tool out and disconnected the rear brakes and got enough clearence to limp on home with wobbly rim.... ( about 1 mile )
Does any one know of a 26" wheel I can buy that is as good as gebe's velocity wheel, but will take screw on gears and not the slip on type.
I dont mind paying for a good wheel but the gebe wheel will need new gears and 25 bucks shipping thats kinda high for me right now ...
Maybe a brand that is sold at the local bike store???
or should I just print out the specs for the velocity wheel and see if they can match, or maybe look on flee-bay...
I got over 600 miles on the cheap wheel though !!!!!
