#lovemybike14 I have a tacoed back wheel on my bike, its a cheap bike, but I really like it. It's a Mongoose Hotshot 700c. Taco'ing is from impact. I was wondering if can take the wheel off and loosen spokes and put them on a new 700c rim? I don't know if its freewheel or cassette, I'm not really versed in bike maintenance. I would be willing to buy a new back wheel as long as it wasn't too much, but the manual didn't come with any technical specifications for which wheels will fit on this bike. Someone also said it has to be either freewheel or cassette, I honestly have no idea, and they said the new wheel hub would have to fit. Can I just loosen the spokes on it and transfer hub and spokes to new 700c rim?
Who's this "someone" & also this "they" ? Any lbs that is worth the toilet paper in the restroom shouldn't have any troubles finding you the best solution to satisfy your situation.
