Good morning to the fellow WDs
I want to change my rear 17inch rim to a 18inch.
Reason being so I can fit a tubliss system.
On my first outride I had a flat at the rear with the tube completely buggered.
Now I understand the concept and complication of carrying a spare tube but it's a big job to get the bike to stand up with no centre stand and no tools to get the tyre off.
Any ideas? I can get a rear rim and just lace it up to my standard hub or is there problems with this?
Then another question.
Can I lace up the rim myself or should I rather leave it to the professionals?
