Hi,
I have got the ELITEWHEELS SLT GRAVEL RD12. It seems so that the freewheel won't stay in place due to not being fixed with a nut or so itself. Is this possible?
All my 5-6 wheelsets had a nut which holds the freewheel with the cassette mounted in place when I am pulling on the cassette without the wheel mounted inbetween the frame. The seller told me that I shall install the wheel inbetween the frame and thus it should hold.
Sounds strange to me.
Any experiences with Elitewheels? I have bought "ELITEWHEELS 1165g Ultralight Road Bike Carbon Wheelset Tubular Tubeless Clincher Rims BITEX Straight Pull Or J -bend Hub Cycling" in the past and there this "problem" didn't occure.
Many thanks,
Dennis

Most DT swiss hubs and I know Zipp hubs works like this.

One more question.
When trying to install the front wheel into the frame I have to bend the frame outwarts a bit in order to get the wheel inbetween the frame. The other wheelsets I have used so far didn't had this problem.
I did measure 103.5mm vs. 99.5mm from NOVATEC Hub I own since already a longer time.
Thoughs? Is it dangerous to ride the wheel when the carbon fork is a bit under tension?
Many thanks,
Dennis
