  1. I have a Specialized Hard Rock.
    Tires say 26''x 1.95.
    The rear one has developed a dent and I would like to raplace it.
    Question is what is the dimensions of the compatible wheelset: 26
    x ??
    I have been looking online and all they have is 26 '' MTB Wheelsets.
    None of them specify the second dimension. Are all 26'' compatible?

    Here are some additional specs:
    -7 casette
    -Quick Release

    26 inch is the critical dimension. Pretty much any width rim they are likely
    to sell you is likely to fit. Still, it's strange that they don't tell you
    whether it's a 20 mm rim or a 17 mm rim, or some other size, because people
    seeking a second wheel set usually want the second one to have the same rim
    width (so that they can swap wheels without re-adjusting brakes).

    You seem to be right, though. I checked Nashbar and they don't specifically
    say what the rim width is.

    This is a stock bike shop item, and wheels aren't particularly compact to
    ship. You might find it just as economical, and faster, at a local bike
    shop. Plus, they have the right tools handy to get the rear gear cluster on
    and off. I'm assuming that your dent is bad enough to require a new wheel
    (as opposed to making the wheel true), but they can tell you that as well.
