Need a new rear wheel, the one i want is out of stock for a few weeks at Merlin, so any other suggestions? Ideally competetitive on price, etc.

What build?

Ideally – 6 bolt XT QR on Mavic 719

Where are you in the country? Ross at Ross Cycles in Caterham is a really good wheel builder as are Nirvana Cycles in Westcott. The only other recommendation I can make is for the firm that built my commuter wheels but I can’t remember who they are and they mainly do Touring builds.

Im ideally looking for an online deal. I can hang out for Merlin to get the rim back in stock, just wondered if there are any other options to go for…?

second hand hope proII could be had for similar money?
