Racing bike front wheels are also available to buy separately and should ideally be as light and aerodynamic as possible. Although road wheels are available with all kinds of specifications, you must make sure the one you buy is compatible with your bike. Pay attention to the axle system (thru axle or quick release) as well as the suitability for the brake system when choosing. Wheels with tubeless-ready rims are also available. When it comes to material, you usually have a choice between carbon and aluminium.
