Q. What material are rims made of? 

1. All OMO Bikes (adult) rims are made up of alloy and are double walled. The kid’s & junior range wheels are made up of steel.
   

Q. My Rim has a crank / joint. Should I be worried? 

1. All steel and alloy rims have a prominent joint where the 2 ends of the rim is welded together. Do not worry. This will not affect the rider’s safety & bike’s performance. 

Q. How many spokes are there in the wheel? 

1. All adult bicycles (wheels 26”, 700c and 29”) have 26 holes. 

2. 20” bicycles wheels have 28 spokes. 

3. 14” bicycles wheels have 16 spokes. 

Q. The rim of my bicycle seems to be bent. What should I do? 

1. Rims are trued to a perfect balance by tightening & loosening spokes. This is a long procedure and takes a lot of precision. We at OMO Bikes, take a lot of pride in truing our rims to maximum precision and rechecking them before shipping. Sometimes, during shipping, due to continuous vibrations, it is possible that the tension in spokes might change. This can affect the wheel truing, which is then visible as a bend in the rim. However, there is nothing to be worried about. In most such cases, only a minor tuning is required by a good professional and the wheel will be true again. 

2. Sometimes, it is possible to be a slight protrusion in the tire. An amateur cyclist is unable to identify the difference between bend in rim or tire. In case, of tire protrusion, the issue is resolved by removing the air completely and adjusting both tube / tire by hand, and refilling the air. That’s it.
