Title: Inexpensive 26" Carbon wheels for Kids bike
Post by: ilja on April 04, 2024, 09:53:09 AM

I just finished a 26" bike build for my 10 year old daughter, which ended up sightly below 10 kgs.  I'd like to bring down the weight a little bit, as I am planning to do some multi-day bike tours with her this summer.

I used a cheap, used Fulcrum wheel set, which is quite heavy at 1.800g.

Compared to 700C road bike wheel sets, there aren't a lot of 26" carbon wheels options around, especially at the lower end of the price spectrum.

Are there any 26" carbon disc wheels with a quick release option available at around $300?

PS: That's the frame I used: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000735177339.html

How is the frame? I was going to get the 24” for my 8yo daughter? I looked at wheels and couldn’t find much. Yuan may have something, worth checking but be very specific in your request…
