Position One Front Wheel 18x1" 24H

Product Overview The Position One Front Wheel is an 18x1" front wheel designed for young BMX riders new to racing. It combines a double-wall aluminum rim with a sealed-bearing hub for durability and low maintenance. At an entry-level price point, this wheel provides reliable performance for practice and competition without requiring advanced maintenance.

Key Features

• Double-Wall Aluminum Rim – Reinforced rim construction increases lateral stiffness and impact resistance; reduces denting and maintains true during repeated landings and tricks
• Sealed-Bearing Hub – Sealed cartridge bearings eliminate water and dirt ingress, reducing maintenance frequency and extending hub life; ideal for young riders who may not perform regular bearing servicing
• 24-Spoke Configuration – Adequate spoke count for youth rider weight and impact loads; standard for entry-level BMX wheels
• Chromoly Axle – Cr-Mo material resists bending and cracking under impact; 10mm diameter is standard for BMX 3/8" bolt dropouts
• Steel Spokes with Brass Nipples – 14-gauge steel spokes provide reliable strength; brass nipples resist corrosion and won't seize during spoke tension adjustments
• Presta Valve – Narrow valve design common on modern BMX wheels; requires Presta-specific pump and tube
