I know I have Shimano 105 components, but it's a 12 spd bike, and my rear gears are 6 cogs, and these supposedly won't work on a more modern shimano 'free hub'. So all new wheels I see are either flip-flop fixed/freewheel, or they are newer shimano Freehubs. I don't see any new wheels for sale compatible with the gearset that I have currently.
Why? Because regardless of what you do with the 6s freewheel/hub on your bike it will always be a 6s freewheel/hub. There are no rims or spokes that will increase the performance of your bike. If you want to relace your current 6s hubs with new rims and spokes be very aware that your performance level will NOT change.
