![]() And my guess is that a narrow wheel like your Aksiums on the rear of your hybrid will feel even worse than what you already have. And I believe your hybrid has mountain bike spacing in the rear stays which is 135mm. I am guessing this will make a much greater difference than wheels. I put a pair of Kenda Kwests on my hybrid and those babies fly! See below: If your current tires have a tread, that will slow you down. Narrow tires won't be any faster, what will make you faster are slicker tires with harder rubber. What I will do is ask you, are you absolutely sure that is what was causing your knee pain and not some other fit issue?Īs far as making your hybrid faster, before you change wheels, change your tires. ![]() I don't really know the answer to whether you can make the pedal stance on your hybrid narrower. I know it would be easier to sell hybrid and get a cheap alu road bike instead, but I'd prefer to try to use what I already have, as it would probably be a bit cheaper. Pretty sure I'll have to settle for current wheel with 28mm tire and something to move from shrader valve/hole to presta. Can this be altered in some way at the hub? And could this wheel accept a 9-speed cassette? If not, is there an okay-ish rear wheel that would fit on an hybrid? I plan on using 28mm tires. As for the back wheel, it seems its not the same axle width (a bit narrower). The front wheel seems to fit pretty nice on the hybrid, so it as found a new home. So now I have okay wheels collecting dust. I recently upgraded my road bike wheels from Mavic Aksium to Shimano RS81. Is there any triple crankset that I could have installed to narrow my stance by a good 2 cm? Or is there some type of 2x crank + front shifter that would work on an hybrid and give me the same results? Obviously I don't want to spend a lot on that.Īs for the making it faster part: the stock wheels are AWFULL. But I can't really do it with its current crank, as it kills my knees. Long story short, I want to get my hybrid out of the basement and use it to commute and to haul my kid in a trailer. I only use the narrow cranks, as the other always leave my knees pretty sore (with same shoes and saddle adjusment). My gym has two types of spinning bikes, one with wider cranks and the other with narrow cranks, closer to what I get on my road bike. The Synapse is obviously more fun to ride and, as an added bonus, the 2cm narrower crank (same lenght) seems to magically solve my knee pain - and it's not something unique to this bike. The next year, I bought my Cannondale Synapse and the hybrid has pretty much been collecting dust since then. It gave me a good summer of riding, but I never managed to get the fit right and it always hurt my knees a little.
