Obviously, 26x1.5, but can you use a 26x1.75 as well?** A: No problem. You could go from 26x1.25" to 26x2.50" if you wanted. **Q: Is this a double wall rim?** A: No **Q: what is the hub dimensions?** A: 100mm OLD **Q: Cannot find in Amazon product description: are bearings loose or sealed? I assume loose? Can you confirm?** A: The one I got, the bearings were loose. Unlike some of the other reviewers, though, mine were properly lubricated and adjusted. I just gave it a quick precautionary check before using it. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid wheel *by T***R on June 1, 2012* This wheel is darn good. The bearing's a little grainy but that's to be expected at this price point. I'd recommend this for someone who only does leisure riding every now and again. That's why I bought it and I'm pleased as punch. The five-star rating is meant to denote that this product is as good as it should be for this price, not that it would compete with a several-hundred-dollar wheel. I recommend it for its intended use. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for my Commuter Bike *by L***N on November 1, 2012* I bought this to replace a wheel that was wildly out of true. The replacement was simple and I've been using it for almost a year now and I've been very happy with it, no problems so far. I have a mountain-bike style hybrid that I ride 2 miles to and from work every day, the path is littered with nasty potholes (though I don't go offroad at all on it) and this wheel has held up just fine. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Front Wheel *by O***N on December 17, 2011* I cycle around the neighborhood twice daily on asphalt roads. An accident mangled my front wheel.Shopping at my local bike stores for a replacement wheel for my Huffy bicycle I decided that the wheels were too expensive for my modest needs - these may well have been worth the price for a serious bike. I came across this wheel on Amazon. It arrived within a week. Thjere were no instructions on how to assemble the quick release mechanism so I brought it to a bike shop.It took the owner literally minutes to assemble.I installed the wheel on my bike and have been biking without incident for about a month now.I would recommend this wheel as a low cost replacement for recreational cycling. I don't know if it would withstand vigorous use on dirt or stone paths. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/3248262-front-bicycle-wheel-26-x-1-5-36h-alloy-quick](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/3248262-front-bicycle-wheel-26-x-1-5-36h-alloy-quick) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
