These wheels are designed and built for single-speed and fixie bikes, from the style to the functionality. Water dispersion grooves help maintain traction in wet conditions and the tires last quite a while even if you like skidding. These are designed with smooth rounded treads, making them ideal for agile riding urban environments. Comes With Kenda Kwest Tiresīrand-name tires are always a plus. Not flipping the tire around won’t affect performance much for a casual commuter. One drawback of these wheels is that the tires they come with are directional, so the tread will run in the wrong direction unless you turn the tire around, too. All you have to do is loosen the wheel and flip it around. Switching between a single-speed freewheel and a fixed gear cog is easy. It’s a lot easier than dealing with caged bearings, at least. If you do have to replace them, popping out the old bearings and putting in new ones is easy.

Not only do they provide a smoother ride, but these high-flange sealed bearing hubs ensure a smooth, long-lasting ride and minimize maintenance. In 2014, Retrospec upgraded to sealed bearings in all their wheels. So many colours available! Sealed Bearings & Hubs These wheels let you express yours with so many customization options. For many people, a big part of the appeal of a fixie is a style. There are tons of different colour combinations available not only for the rim, but for other components too. I personally quite like the Super Deep V look, especially since you can customize your colour.

Even heavier riders can run this wheelset without any problems. Although the rims are a bit heavier, that bit of extra weight is well worth the added durability you get. Hand-Built Retrospec’s wheelsets are all hand-built to make sure you get a product which is worth the priceīrand name lightweight 43-mm double-wall Super Deep V rims keep your wheels true and absorb the shocks of the road.

Includes everything (tires, tubes, cogs, etc).

Not quick release (although I think that’s a positive).

Tires are directional so you need to turn them when switching between fixed and single speed.

Very affordable without sacrificing quality.

Not ALL colours have both wheels with a braking surface.

You should be able to ride 100’s of kilometers without any problems. However, if you’re looking for value, Retrospec’s Mantra wheelset is made from quality materials and has the durability to keep it true. If you’re looking for something more performance-oriented, consider track bike wheel if your budget allows it. They come with everything you need – tires, wheels, tubes and both a single speed freewheel and a fixed gear cog.
