Subject: Wheel compatibility
Hi,

I bought the new Cervélo P3 last year (2014 model). I would like to add new wheels to my bike. I was looking at the Mavic Cosmic Carbon SLS wheelset (http://www.probikekit.ca/bicycle-wheels/mavic-cosmic-carbone-sls-wheelset-2015/10880752.html). Would that be compatible with my bike without changing any other component?

I don't really know what to look for when buying a wheelset. Do I need to check the hub dimension depending on the number of cassettes I have on my bike? Do I need to check the material of the breaking surface to match with my breaking pads?

Thanks in advance!

You need to know if you have a Shimano/SRAM (using the same free hub body) or Campagnolo, then you also need to know if your drive train is 10 or 11 speed.

The only other thing you may need to adjust (and it's super easy) is the brake pad width.

My back wheel needs to be trued up. It has a slight side-to-side wobble, and I feel at times like I'm going to lose control when I ride. Is this something that I should only trust to my LBS to do?

The wheels are my first area of concern and I have started to shop around. I find it nauseating to think of spending the same amount for wheels as my bike. Any help?

Don't know how to take that rear wheel off of your bike? Is the chain making things difficult? Learn how to remove your rear wheel if you have to change your bike tire or fix a flat.

Being a fast swimmer put me up with the faster athletes. As expected, they started to pass me soon out of transition. Some would just slowly pass. Others with aero wheels would literally buzz by.

This article estimates how much time can be saved in sprint races by converting from stock aero wheels found on most tri bikes to more aero disk and composite spoked wheels.
