Road bike wheels have been designed for maximum speed and comfort on asphalt. In this section you will find wheels for road bikes of different sizes to suit the user's needs.
Although the wheels always come from the factory with our bicycles, they are the component that is most in contact with the ground, and therefore the one that will potentially be subject to greater wear. Whether due to wear or to improve the performance of our bicycle, it is important that the wheels are of quality. At Onveló we have selected those brands that we know we can trust so that our customers do not have to worry about having to change the wheels of their bicycles before necessary, even being able to enjoy them much longer than usual.
The bicycle wheel is made up of a rubber tire, inside which is an air chamber (also made of rubber) mounted on a rim, a central hub and the spokes that connect the two.
Normal bikes use 36 spokes. 32-spoke rims and hubs are used to achieve lighter wheels, and 40 and up to 48-spoke wheels are used for a tandem or a delivery bike. The spokes can be set radially or tangentially.
The lighter the wheels, the faster a bicycle can handle and the faster it accelerates. Therefore, road bikes and track bikes have thin, light wheels and narrow tires, while mountain bikes, which are used to jump rocks and dips in the terrain, use wider and heavier wheels and more robust tires. There are many nuances in between on this spectrum, and depending on the type of wheels you use, a bicycle can have different characteristics.
