The rear wheel on my commuter is trash. I got a Miche xpress rear wheel for £20 which is barely used.
Bargain thinks me!
I find that a dura ace lockring won't fit; it's very slightly too sloppy.
A quick last minute google last night and I find a bunch of sites that say 'Miche use a different thread to others, you need this etc'. So I ordered a Miche lockring for next day delivery.
It turns up today and it's WAY too big; slips right over all the lockring threads.
This tells me there is obviously now a third standard! Does anyone have any clue as to what I need to buy?
I'm already at breaking point and trying hard not to just dump a bunch of cash on a wheel that would be far too good for commuting on (to be fair, the rest of the bike is quite nice but wheels really take a beating on this thing)! Thanks.
