|   New Wheel Set Question | Eddie
May 19, 2002 7:16 AM | | I am thinking of getting a new pair of Mavic 517's with XT hubs from an online retailer. What would I need to do to prep these rims for riding. Do I need rim tape? is it hard to remove and install a cassete? What else do I need to do?
Thanks |

A. get a chain whip and a cassette lockring tool and do it yourself see this website http://www.parktool.com/repair_help/FAQcogs.shtml
B. you could take it to the LBS and they could do it for a few dollars. overall changing yer cassette is no big deal. |
