Installing a cassette on a wheel is easy if you have the right tools. If you purchase a cassette remover with a Shimano fit, you will be able to mount either a Shimano or Sram cassette on your rear wheel. Please note! For a Campagnolo cassette you need the Campagnolo tool. If you have a Shimano 9/10-speed cassette, first slide the spacer over the body. Then you place the cassette on the body. This can only be done in one way because of the fit of the body. Finally you turn the washer straight on by hand and tighten it with the cassette tool. Cassettes aren’t easily overtightened, but if you want you can use a torque wrench for this.
• For Shimano 9/10-speed, do not forget to mount the spacer first before installing the cassette
• Make sure the rim tape is stuck well in the rim

Disappointed
Not what I expected from bontrager. Wheels do not roll as well as I'd thought after reading the description. Even with light tubes and bontrager R4 tyres they seem to struggle to pick up speed on down hill runs. Also when you spin the wheel on the hub it is very quick to come to a stop. Nice looking but the standard you would find on a new bike that you would be looking to upgrade. OK to use as a second set for winter training.
Pros & Cons
1 / 5
Great service from Mantal but disappointed with the wheels.
Wheels are something you would expect on a new bike and you would be looking to upgrade. The wheels are heavy for a aero wheel and for a little bit more money a better aero wheel could be bought. They are roll as well as a marbal in sand and yes after a wash the rims do fill with water. On the plus side is they do look nice are are OK for a spare set of wheels.
