Aside from the fact that it's fun to buy the latest thing, how do you really decide when your wheels must be replaced? I have old 26" wheels with low mileage, Suntour XC Sport hubs, straight gauge ss spokes, 4x, no quick release, and 5 speed hub. Aside from maybe replacing the bearings and the inconvience of only a 5 speed freewheel, what criteria should I use when deciding to replace these wheels?
Thanks
