Road Bike Wheels

At Eurocycles, we offer a selection of lightweight, aerodynamic and reliable road bike wheels for any condition.

What size wheel is best for a road bike?

The most common wheel size for road bikes is 700c, although the name isn't that accurate. 700 refers to the approximate diameter across the wheel of the outside tyre, meaning it will vary depending on the tyre type and thread.
700c wheels are designed to take thinner tyres for higher rolling resistance. The most popular tyre sizes used with road bike wheels are 23, 25, and 28mm.

How do I choose a road bike wheel?

Look at the sidewall of your tyre. You should find a series of numbers like this one: 700x23. The first number is your wheel size; the other one is your tyre size. You can also check the sticker on your rim.

How often should you replace road bike wheels?

Road bike wheels have a huge lifespan. The worst case will still give you 1500 miles while the best ones can see you ride up to 12000 miles on the same wheelset.
The longevity of your wheels depends on various factors, like terrain, how often you ride, how often you brake, and your rim type.
If you have rim brakes, there will be wear on the rim. Rims are fitted with wear indicators (either a hole or groove) to let you know when to change your wheels. If the wear indicator has disappeared, it is time to replace the wheel.
This braking wear isn't a concern if you have disc brakes. 

Is it worth upgrading road bike wheels?

Apart from wear and tear, replacing a road wheel can be a simple and effective way to improve your bike by reducing weight and increasing performance and ride quality.
