MAte of mine is not having much luck with wheels and bearings so wants a new rear.

Ideally wants QR, 26, 6 bolt, sealed bearings, tubes, 9 speed and on a sub £100 budget.

What's his best plan ?

Second hand Hope Pro 2 would be my choice. Should be well under budget.

Otherwise Superstar or Merlin for deals on Shimano wheels (great in the past, haven't looked recently). But my feeling is that the Hopes are a big step in quality by comparison - I'd much rather have a used Hope than a new Shimano wheel.
