Please recommend a bick wheelset
Hi. Can anyone recommend a 3-Spock 26" bike wheelset?
I need to replace my bicycle wheels, so please recommend a reliable online shop or brand.
Thank you in advance

Wait, there's regular Spock, and there's the one with the goatee, from the other universe, but where's the third Spock?
Edit: Just realized that the third Spock must be from the Kelvin timeline.

Unless you're spending lots of money you won't get anything reliable. If you need to replace your wheels go with a traditional spoke wheelset. Even at the higher levels of a couple thousand for a 3 spoke style wheel they weight more than a lot of decent mid-range spoked wheel while the cheap ones can have one wheel weigh as much as a single traditional wheel and it will not be reliable. There's a reason that spoke wheels predominate the way they do, simple and reliable.

oh, I wouldn’t ride those wheels or recommend them. I was just amazed I was able to search the words in the OP and actually find what they were looking for.

Are the 3 Spock 26" available for 7 speed ?
I am contemplating a vintage mountain bike conversion to road.
And want it to be uniquely Spocked.
Take me to Wallymart, bicycle component supplier to the world.
Too bad they withdrew from parts of the PNW.

And I agree! Plus the lookup corrected the spelling errors - "Spock" / "Spoke"
