Araya TM 18 wheel with 7- gear Shimano sprocket. Gently used for neighborhood biking in my Scepter bike. Replaced the wheel with one that has 9 gears (getting old). Wheel is for rim brake. Includes two different size axles and plastic cover plate, as shown in the picture. Tire is not included.
Additional info from the Internet:
An Araya TM-18 is a wheelset that fits 26-inch tires. You can fit a range of widths from about 1 inch to 1.95 inches on the 18mm internal width rim, though slightly wider tires have been used successfully by some riders. Check your tire clearance with the frame and choose a width appropriate for your riding style, balancing factors like grip, comfort, and rolling resistance.
• Wheel Size: The "TM-18" refers to the rim, and it's a 26-inch rim size.
• Tire Width: The number after the "x" (e.g., 26 x 1.95) indicates the width of the tire when inflated, which is chosen based on the rim's internal width.
• Rim's Internal Width:
The TM-18 is an 18mm internal width rim. This is on the narrower side for mountain bike rims but is suitable for many mountain and hybrid bikes.
• Riding Style:
• Narrower Tires (e.g., 1.00 - 1.50 inches): Are better for faster rolling and lighter weight, making them suitable for road or smooth trails.
• Wider Tires (e.g., 1.75 - 1.95 inches): Offer more grip and shock absorption, better for rough terrain or gravel, but can feel slower.
