How To Make Your MTB Wheels Last Longer!

A fantastic pair of Mountain Bike Wheels are often taken for granted. When spokes, hubs, rims and tyres work well together, are well maintained and are in good working order, your wheels will be a reliable and consistent point of contact with the ground giving you confidence and support. When one or multiple elements are not working as intended, you can be left with a sloppy feeling, draggy, slow, potentially dangerous set of wheels tracking the ground. Owen has a guide to making your wheels go the distance, including things you should watch out for and regular checks you could make.
