Changing wheels on my bike

Cona · 2015-09-12 14:26:21

i have an old pair of carbon clincher wheels that I want to put on my current bike which has 105 cassette. If I buy a new 105 cassette for the carbon wheels am I all set? Is it fairly easy to change the cassette on wheels myself or is there specialist tools involved? Would a lbs be handier to get it done? Thks

It's fairly easy once you have the tools, chain whip, cassette cog remover and wrench. Probably cheaper to go to the LBS than invest in the tools. I bought a cheap set in Aldi for 20 quid.
