Need a new rear wheel for a 2015 Whyte Shoreditch commuting bike. 8 spokes have broken on the wheel (on separate occasions) over the last year or so. And each time it happens, I ask the shop to replace the spoke and true the wheel. Pulling wheelies off of curbs has got to stop.
But I think it’s time to stop flogging a dead horse, and buy a new one. Only thing is, the shop have quoted between £70 and £90 for a new one, which seems pretty steep. So I’m wondering if anyone has any recommendations for wheels online?
Basically, I am the least practical man in Britain, and don’t have a clue what I’m looking for. The latest model on Whyte website has this:
Rear Hub
Alloy Disc, Cup & Cone, Double Seal, 32 Hole
Front Hub
Alloy Disc, Cup & Cone, Double Seal, 28 Hole
Spokes
2.0mm PG Spokes with Brass Nipples
Rims
Whyte Disc Road 20mm Deep, 20mm Wide, Offset Rim, 32 Hole Rear and 28 Front, 3M Reflective Decals
Any ideas on bargains for complete wheels?
Thanks
