They explain that both options have their advantages and disadvantages, which they plan to explore in detail. The author acknowledges that complete wheels come with built-in strengths and weaknesses, which can affect the overall riding experience.

Machines Aren't Perfect

The author advises riders to keep their wheels properly adjusted and maintained to prevent problems like a loose wheel.

Frame and Pegs

Plastics and Sleeves

The author notes that despite this drawback, plastic sleeves offer excellent sliding performance.

Bars and Grips

They express their love for these components, highlighting the strength and durability of the Volta bars, as well as the comfort and performance of the ODI Rib grips.
