CyclingDeal Bicycle Mountain Bike 26 inch Double Wall Rims MTB Wheelset 26" with Compatible with Shimano MF-TZ500 14-28T Freewheel - Front & Back Wheels

I was restoring my old 2004 diamondback Wildwood Citi bike since bikes are in short supply and high demand lately. My freewheel was a bit on the worn and rusty side so I was going to just replace that. I found these and they're a perfect fit. They even have the exact same freewheel that my bike came with originally. I used slime tubes and they required nothing be done to the holes- perfect fit. They're sitting now with a set of 26x1.95" Kenda tires on them and they look and ride great. The quick release axles it came with are also great. I'm very glad I found these. They look great, they're light weight, and a perfect match for my bike.

I am very happy with these wheels and the very large first gear is really nice. It is a big gear and so you may find your existing rear derailer will just barely fit. You might consider buying a new derailer spec’ed for 42 teeth or use the adjustment screw to lower how it hangs, but I think you will find your existing one will just barely be OK. The screw I’mtalking about is not the high and low limit screws, I’m talking about the screw near where the derailer mounts to the frame, many but not all dearailers have that screw.

The front and back rims are well made and light weight. The read gears went on easily. The only issue I had is that you need to make sure that you have a sufficiently-long chain as the largest rear gear is oversized and my bike chain will not make it over the teeth. Simple fix would be to add a few more chain links, but I probably will must not use that gear as it is not needed for most of the riding I do. Other than that, the rims are a good value, came when promised, and were straight.

I bought these to replace a bent stock wheel. These are better quality than the ones that came on my $700 bike. I would highly recommend these to anyone needing replacement wheels or honestly even looking to upgrade.

As someone else noted, you need to enlarge the hole for the valve stem, but that was easy. Also, I had to carefully position the tube where the valve came through the hole (basically push the valve down in a bit before inflating), else the beads would not set in properly. Could have something to do with the actual size of the tube (from Walmart, meant to fit a variety of tire sizes).

These rims were well packaged and arrived in perfect shape. Put on new tubes and tires and off I went. The gear cassette and an extra large climbing gear so make sure your chain is designed for 6 to 8 gears. No complaints would buy these again. Wheel bearings are nicely sealed against water and dirt.

Believe the hype; these rims are the real deal. Double-walled, premium materials and construction, true and smooth. Included freewheel is a nice addition. And reasonable cost? Heckin' yes! Used these to upgrade my (garbage!) sixthreezero cruiser and the difference made the bike an order of magnitude better. Buy these rims!

For the price, definitely worth buying. Skewers a little long for my application, but probably pick up locking ones anyway.

I know that these wheels will probably never be seen again on this site but I have to say I am very pleased with the price and product. Installed on my 15yr old Ironhorse (another brand lost forever) but with a 7s freewheel as opposed to the supplied 6 which is a true shimano. Wheels arrived true and have been enjoying riding my MTB again.
