Bike wheel
My son’s bike needs a new wheel as the rear axle bearings have collapsed/seized,apparently you can’t buy the axle and bearing kits and a special tool is required to remove the axle anyway, which I don’t have. Has anyone got an old black mountain bike wheel 26 inch with a six speed gear cassette they no longer want? A new one is c£30 which I would pay, but he has almost outgrown this bike now and we will be buying a new one for his birthday in autumn, so not worth replacing the wheel with a new one as the bike itself would only fetch that amount second hand.

Hi Rich,
You ask for a black wheel. Availability from second hand sources is 10% whereas a silver wheel is 90%. A wheel is a wheel whatever the colour. 5 - 6 - 7 speed block will do. Is it a solid axle with nuts. Suggest you contact any local mountain bike or cycling club. Lots of members hoard wheels. Have a look at You Tube - reference 6 speed cassette removal. You may be able to borrow the splined tool from some one. Will send you a PM with my contact details so we can discuss further. |
Give me 24 hours, I have a certain person on the case Rich...

Thanks Peter and Andy. Peter I looked on youtube but the locking is totally different to the one on this wheel. I borrowed the wheel from my wife’s bike which has the same size wheels
