[#1299733]

Hi there, I'm looking for some replacement rim brake wheels to repair a mate's 26" bike.

Looking for as basic as possible, but needs to be QR. Don't have to be tough or anything, canal tow path will be as off-raody as they have to deal with.

ANybody aware of a good deal, looked at Merlin, wwiggle and WHS, but that's way more than she wants to spend.

As always any advice very much appreciated.

Alex

Title says Disc, post says Rim

Superstar do sets from around £100

Disc is a bit tricky for cheapo wheels. CRC bargain wheels section is worth keeping an eye on.

Oops, had a hard day. That's rim brakes

James, you're the winner, WHS gets the business. I'd looked but not seen the 26" sets page, (man looking!). Cheers pal.

TTFN,

A
