How so? I'm looking for a wheel that is 26 inches and need one for a good price. I am also wondering since I do a little mountain biking, not like the real pro's so I don't want to spend so much money on super hi quality stuff if I don't need it considering that they cost so much more. And since I do a little mountain biking and my bikes break a lot because of the gear thing next to the back tire breaks, should I put a bash guard on it, and if I do, will it really guarantee that it will make the gear shifting thing work longer to not break so easily, or should I just upgrade the gear thing all together to a pro-quality gear thing?
