Overview

The Gravity Parrotwheels 26-inch beach cruiser wheel set is designed as a complete, ready-to-install upgrade or replacement for standard cruiser bicycles. Each wheel features an aluminum alloy single-wall rim with a pinned seam clincher design, laced with 36 stainless steel silver spokes measuring 2.2mm in diameter. This high spoke count provides excellent load-bearing strength and impact resistance for the demands of cruiser riding on pavement, boardwalks, and packed sand. Both hubs feature sealed ball bearings for smooth, low-maintenance rolling performance, and the bolt-on front and rear axles ensure the wheels remain securely attached to the frame.

The rear hub incorporates a coaster brake system that activates when the rider pedals backward, providing simple and intuitive braking without the need for hand levers or cable routing. Both wheels arrive with 26 x 2.125 black wall tires and Schrader-valve tubes already mounted, so installation is as simple as bolting the wheels onto the dropouts and adjusting chain tension on the rear. The rust-proof alloy rims and stainless steel spokes make this wheel set particularly well suited for riders in coastal or humid environments where corrosion is a constant concern.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Tires and tubes come pre-mounted on both wheels, eliminating the need for separate purchases and assembly.
  • Aluminum alloy rims and stainless steel spokes resist rust, making them well suited for beach and coastal riding.
  • 36 spokes on both front and rear wheels provide strong durability for cruiser-weight loads and uneven terrain.
  • Sealed ball bearings in the hubs offer smoother rolling and longer service life with less maintenance.
  • Bolt-on axles on both wheels provide a secure attachment that resists accidental loosening.

👎 Cons

  • Coaster brake only, so there is no front braking capability included with this wheel set.
  • Single-wall rim construction is less rigid than double-wall alternatives under heavy loads.
  • The 26 x 2.125 tire size limits replacement options to standard beach cruiser tires.
  • Bolt-on axles require a wrench for removal, making roadside tire changes less convenient than quick-release designs.
  • No color options for the rims — only the standard alloy finish is available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Both wheels come with 26 x 2.125 black wall tires and tubes pre-mounted, so they are ready to install on your bike without additional purchases.
The rear wheel uses a coaster brake (pedal brake) system, which engages when you pedal backward. There is no front brake mechanism included.
Both front and rear wheels use bolt-on axles, which provide a more secure attachment than quick-release skewers and help prevent wheel theft.
The rims are made from aluminum alloy, which does not rust. The stainless steel spokes also resist corrosion, making this wheel set suitable for coastal and wet environments.
The tubes use Schrader valves, which are the standard automotive-style valves found at most gas stations and compatible with common bicycle pumps.
