The Wheelset odyssey continues. They arrived while I was on vacation.
Just came home to inspect them. Other then stated it wasn’t 6 hole. It was center lock and he forgot to include the adapters and wants me to pay extra now. Also other then written it’s not 135mm it’s 142mm and won’t fit into my frame. But it looks like I can change that with the hubs.
Then the front won’t fit because the diameter of the hub doesn’t quite fit the fork. Also the adapters are totally loose as you can see in the video.
Looks I was just too naive to buy online and then got hit by my lack of knowledge of the different standards. My axles have 12mm the front wheel has this loose cups with 14mm.
Maybe you’ve guys can put me into the direction if it’s worth to fix all of this, because I can’t give them back.
Apart from that they look super nice and sharp. But broken and already chipped paint from my fork because I didn’t pay close attention.
