Road bike rim size HELP
Hey guys I need help figuring out the rims for my specialized road bike. I bent the rear wheel and need a new one. I'm trying to search online but I can't understand sizes and whatnot. Mine reads "Alexrims S500 Double 6061H-T6 etrto 622x14".
Can anyone explain sizes and where I can find one? Thanks in advance

S500 double is the model and sounds double wall.
6061h-t6 means it's an aluminum rim
622x14 means it's a 700c rim that is 14mm wide.
Any 700c road rim can substitute that has the correct number of spoke holes though you'll need new spokes.
I suspect from your question you're looking for a whole wheel. How many speeds and freewheel or cassette needs to be known before making a recommendation.

The first wheelset is a decent, basic replacement that should be fairly sturdy, it also has a slightly wider rim at 17mm that will make your tires perhaps ride a little better. The Shimano wheelset is a little better as is the mavic set, both are sportier though not high performance and are still used as everyday wheels. A good search of Amazon will turn up just an 8-10 speed wheel, 8-10 all use the same hub, with a decent wheel. I like my wheels to match though hence the sets.

My son wrecked and bent his rim on a 29'er. The local bike shop didn't charge but a handful of dollars more than I could have gotten the wheels online for myself. And I didn't have to get my hands dirty or wrack my brain trying to keep up with things like dropout spacing, rear or front hub, disc or rim brake, and all sorts of other gotcha's.
I have ordered wheels online for myself, twice. But I knew exactly what I wanted and what specs I needed. If you are not certain, make sure there is a generous return policy.

You're looking for road wheels - 700C rim brake.
