Apart from the big alphanumeric LU-908 (ish) on them?
Or looks that number.
That's a Wellgo code, but could be under other names as a rebranded of Wellgo.


If you search wpd-998 you'll see their spd binder in red that is the same.

can a guy use a front chainring designed for 9 speed w/an 8 speed rear cassette? am assuming it should work, just wondering if it will affect performance somehow?

ok, so I just bought some brand new hoops for my "modern" bike - a 2013 Explosif - and was rather pleased to discover that my old wheels actually had tubes in them, so, my stupid question is this : do I still need to tape the rims? old hoops are taped, just wondering if I absolutely have to drive 210km to acquire a roll of rim tape. and thx again in advance, lads...
