Bookmark or Share- Spokes: Alex Rims AT400 | CycleChat Cycling Forum2 Nov 2024. #3. Remove wheel. If drive side (likely) remove cassette.

So you get crowdsourced info on road hazards.
- Resistance is futile | CycleChat Cycling Forum11 Oct 2024. #8. I have a bike with disc brakes and one (a folder) with rim brakes. both work fine but I prefer the discs. also easier to get the wheel off when you need to. or it is on mine anyway. not tried tubeless and electronic shifting just seems like something else to go wrong and run out of power when you need it.
