Might be the right thread - I have no idea what I need to do to replace the wheels on my road bike - a 2007 Spesh Allez 9 speed - but replace them I must as they are both creaky and broken and heavy.
If I were to order some new wheels that specified 9-speed compatibiltiy, like these Ultegera ones they are flogging on Ribble for cheap at the moment, with a new 9-speed cassette to boot, would I need any special tools to fit them? Would they fit? Would there be a better choice for that price point?
I use the bike mainly for commuting on London's poxy roads and pootling around Kent/South London country-ish and suburban roads. So they need to be strong enough to take a pothole or ten.
