Does anyone have a rear MTB wheel going spare? Not looking for anything snazzy, just for a cheap single speed project.

What's the hib/rim on that? Also, is it a screw-on freewheel?

not SS but probably could be converted if you've got the time and know-how.

nfi, tbh.
It's a generic old 6 speed 27" wheel. I doubt they rims are branded, but will have a look. Presume the cassette is shamano.

This is actually for off-road, so a road wheel is likely to fold in half under my 14 stones.

Good lord. No idea. I just Googled it and nothing came up. Is it a spaceship?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
