I bought a KHE Macheto, didnt like the way it rolled when i got it, so bought some Oddysy quadrant front and back. It rolled better but not right. I put the KHE wheels on my lads bike as it didnt matter what he had lol, and his bike rolls like mint really quick, he has a fly tierra frame. so have decided it not the wheels its the frame thats S**t. any advice on a frame please I'm 6'1" long and slim cheers

No its not a wheel issue, the khe wheels that i thought were rolling slow i put on my lads Fly tierra and that rolled really quick. The quandrants i bought i've also put them on the lads bike and there fine the problems is when i put them on the khe its slow. have changed the sproket put sealed bb in it to but still the same. even leant some profile hub wheel of a friend i ride with and said how slow they were on my bike.

What do you mean by slow? Like, if you spin the wheel, it stops quicker than others?

yeah, even taken the brakes off, loosen driver side cone thinking it was to tight. its hard to explain........you know when you pump ramps or a bowl on one bike then jump on another and you know your having to work twice as hard for the same speed its that sort of problem. Not explaining this very well really lol sorry

Is your rear brake out of adjustment grabbing the rim and slowing you down?

Top tip Dont buy KHE's.
I purchased The 2010 Shola Shortly after it was released after 2 week of ridin street and park very lightly as i am no the best of riders the bottom bracket bearing race collapsed due to a warrnaty issue, they claimed they would send me a seealed version within 4 dayss at a extra cost the previous unsealed version, 2 weeks later no sign, i then went to florida on holiday for 2 weeks still no sign but this time it ahd been 4 MONTHS! i then rang up and asked for a complete refund on my bike which they refused because i had rode it. they then sent me a sealed 19mm mid bb instead of a 19mm USA bb, 2 weeks later they send me the right ones and some cranks for the trouble.
