26er & 27.5 (650b) / Inexpensive 26" Carbon wheels for Kids bike
« 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

My bike club is doing a trip to the French Alps this summer, including visits to some epic climbs like Alpe d'Huez.

I'm running Winspace Hyper D68 wheels at the moment, which come in at slightly over 1.500g. Would you go for a lighter set of wheels for these climbs, and if so, what wheel set at around $1000 would you suggest.

Thanks.

(My apologies if this has been discussed ad nauseam).

I'm looking for a modern carbon road frame for a 193cm tall rider (6ft 3), who I'd usually suggest a 60/61cm frame, with a stack height in the 615 mm ballpark. Rider is new to road cycling, so the geometry shouldn't be too aggressive.

So far I've only seen the the TanTan/Seraph TT-X34. Are there any other Chinese companies offering frames that big?

Thanks.
