I'd like a black 32h disc-only wheel. It'll be a singlespeed bike but not fussed about the hub too much, M529 would do me nicely. The rim? Bonty or Mavic, XC type ideally. The parts in Ireland are stupid expensive even through the shop so maybe I should buy from UK. Where from? Cheap but decent build please. I've used CRC and had no issues but they're not building those wheels it seems.
Budget? Say, 75 quid if possible inc. postage. In a month's time though. Or even later. So no hurry here.
So, where would you buy it from?
Thanks.
halo freedom rear 29er is about £75.00 if you shop around

Isn't it a rather heavy-duty wheel? Plain gauge spokes and Halo Freedom rim shout "heavy!" to me. But then, what do I really know...
for £75 what do you expect? 😀
if you want light for 29 go with a stans rim, even the mavic are fairly chunky.
on-one do some ok wheel sets with a shimano hub in them on a reetard rim but that's still a fairly chunky monkey.
or this looks ok and not too far above your target price

I seem to remember a few warm opinions regarding the Halo wheels.
BTW Yesterday I spoke to a Trek/Bonty rep and according to their catalogue their wheels are 17gms lighter than Halos but over a hundred quid dearer.
Seems obvious - a second hand one or a Halo (or win the lottery and get a Burgtec hub 😀 ).
For what you're asking I'd post a WTD ad in the classifieds!
