Installing modern wheels on a Soviet bicycle: detailed instructions

If you want to get a Soviet car out of the garage bike and to bring it back to life, first of all it is necessary to update transport. Perhaps the most vulnerable place is the rubber, which will most likely have to be replaced. But sometimes it makes sense to install new wheels - if the rims or spokes are bent, for example. Sometimes a cyclist wants to breathe new life into an old "iron horse".

In any case, to replace Soviet wheels with modern ones, it is important to know what the specifics of such work are. The issue is discussed in detail in the video from the Velolab Velolab channel.

Certain details of modern bicycles are identical to those produced in the USSR. However, replacement is not an easy task. If only because over the years of operation and downtime, some elements could be deformed. At the same time, you need to put new wheels in place of the old ones so that they sit like family. After all, the safety of the cyclist directly depends on them.

Look carefully - you will find a detailed analysis of the procedure for replacing Soviet wheels with modern ones!
