Looking for 700C front wheel (NOT disc type). Current wheels are Mavic Aksium.

As title please. Needing to replace the front wheel due to accident. Am going to 'pinch' the front wheel from my summer bike to put me on, but will need a replacement.
Thanks

Sorry, I can't help re a new wheel but thank you for helping me map that the phrase 'put me on' is in common usage as far south as Rotherham.

I feel that sourcing a replacement wheel below normal retail is not going to be easy if I want new. Although pre owned wheels are cheaper, there is no guarantee that they will fit the cycle

Kev has been very helpful. I have been snookered by the fact that the length of wheel hubs are not all standardised. I do wonder how many varients there are in respect hubs/types etc.

Merlin have competitive prices on wheels, you can just buy a front (although they seem to be lacking stock).
Pair of Aksiums for £170

Well if the hub is 'normal' ie for rim brakes then surely it's 100mm OLD and presumably secured by a QR. Who says they are not 'standardised'? You've said 'not disc'. Maybe specify axle type - amend OP, to help donors. My wheels are too old / have too many spokes for anyone sporting 'Axioms'.

Yes I saw that. I think the stores that only sell in pairs would do more buisness if they sold only what the customer needed.

I assume they come in pairs from their suppliers. Most people probably want a matching pair if unable to rebuild (I would)
You could always get a single wheel built by your LBS or a company like Spa in Harrogate if not fussed

I have a nice Fulcrum wheel if you're still looking?

A decent bike shop will have no issue building a single wheel for you and they don't have to be expensive. Take in the knackered wheel with you if you decide to go this route and they should be able to quite quickly go over the options and costs with you.
