I have a shimano WH-7700 rim road clincher, with the spokes that 'Insert,' through the rim. I'm concerned about the width. Can anyone tell me?

You can buy velox tape in different widths. Make sure you measure your rim width.

Max tire width depends on your rims and your tube. There are a number of charts out there that I find a little confusing that will tell you widths your rims will support. If in real doubt talk to your local bike shop (though they can also be a little confusing). I went with the 2 inch version because I used them on a hard tail mountain bike and was replacing ~2 inch off road tires so I knew they'd work, now I'm on 1.85 inch tires just because one of these blew and I needed a replacement.

I did a long stitch around the back of them. Make sure you have it lined up properly before you start. You will notice more space between the holes where the spokes are. Hope this helps. It was a long and tedious process for me to install but so worth it!

I have 13" rims....they dont fit to well at first, they seemed to be off by just a tiny bit, but I sanded them down very lightly and thy work perfectly fine....I've had them for about 2months now and no issues.

If your going to just swap out the gear hub, you will need new spokes and have some one lace the new hub into the original rim , then just change the selector and everything should bolt onto your frame, I converted my 24 speed mountain bike to the 8 speed gear hub and enjoy it , I never changed gears on the front chain rings so no loss to me, I like simplicity

I have no idea, but if it is a regular road type bike wheel, it will fit. That being said, I would NEVER buy these wheels again. First of all, they weigh a ton, are extremely difficult to mount, to the point that I finally had to take my bike to a bike shop to put them on. The instructional booklet is completely worthless. Then, after paying to get these put on, I couldn't steer the bike and it kept going into the bushes. IF the wheels are not precisely set at about 1/2 an inch or less above the ground on each side, you will find it impossible to steer the bike. Even the bike shop could not get it right. Finally, I just sold my two wheeler in favor of a recumbent tadpole trike and I am much happier. Even if you get these to work, because they are so heavy, you still won't be able to keep up with your friends on two wheelers, providing you can stay out of the bushes. This is a terrible concept, terrible performance and worthless in every way. They actually should be reported for saying that someone with a disability could use them. They can't.

Dear Juice: There are two systems. One is the older-style freewheel where the cog unit goes screwed on the hub of the rear wheel. This Shimano Tourney is one of those screw-on cogs. The newer system is where the cog unit -called a cassette- goes pushed and then locked on a splined extension of the hub. Both systems are not compatible. My advise is get a bike mechanic or a friend who knows the difference between the two systems have a look at your bike and tell you which system it has before you spend the money :-) Hope this helps, Andy :-)

15" rim.. This s happened to me because they were the first set I have ever gotten online and they came and of course did not fit my 17" wheel so I had to sell on craigslist... That's what the R15 part of the model number is.. Good luck!

As long as your rim has 36 spokes, it should be no problem. You will have to remove all of the spokes and re-lace the new hub to the existing rim, you should be able to re-use the spokes. lacing a rim looks intimidating, but if you take your time, it's really pretty easy, otherwise, you can have a bike shop do it.

There are two different models, one with and one with out. Be sure which one you need before ordering. Also you may want to order the entire wheel ready to go. I had to special order spokes for my rim and lace the whole affair up (see u-tube video) By the time I did that it would have been cheaper to just get the wheel ready to mount.

Yes... IF... your bike is a vintage early 60's through early 80's 26" Hollywood, AND... still has the original Schwinn S-7 rims. These rims take the special Schwinn 26 X 1 3/4 tire, not the standard 26 X 1.75 tire. Fraction = Schwinn, decimal = standard. The original Schwinn rims typically have a knurled strip down the middle where the spokes go through, and some will be stamped Schwinn Approved and S-7. For inner tubes, no special Schwinn size required, 26 X 1.75 - 1.95 work fine. The new Chinese made Schwinn Hollywoods available these days at Wall-mart and so forth take large balloon style tires, completely different. Hope this helps. . Yes...

Spokes can be removed with a spoke wrench which is about the size of a peanut and available at some hardware stores or a bike shop. Installing the new hub may require a different spoke length if old and new hub diameters are out of matching range.Re-lacing a wheel is a tedious process to keep true round and wobble free. With that I recommend having bike shop mechanic handle that. They have all the specialized tools and expertise to provide a safe working wheel that won't fail at high speed.

With the shims you can go down to a small wheel 3/4" thick . I have mine on a Cub Cadet which has an 1.25" thick wheel where I have it mounted, with no shims

You should always measure for clearances before mounting any fat tires on a bike which came with thinner tires. Contact the manufacturer if you can't find all the dimensions you need. Even if the new tires fit the space, the clearances will be tighter, so your spokes may need tuning, since a wobbly wheel can cause tire rubbing, even when clearances are technically sufficient.

What do you mean interchangeable? As long as the # of spokes are the same, it will fit your rim and spoke setup.
