I bashed a big flatspot into my hybrids rear wheel on Christmas Day, I'm now fed up with riding what feels like a 50p.Now it's got a broken spoke, a grumpy freehub and worn bearings to boot.
So I'm looking for a 700c disk brake wheel, 8SPD Shimano type freehub with QR and around 32h, in black with no brake faces. I run 28 wide tyres. I may consider moving up a width to protect the rim if that's worthwhile.
The last couple I've bough have been on mavic 319 rims and come in at about £80.
I don't seem to be able to find much on Wiggle Tredz CRC etc and my lbs doesnt have anything to tick my boxes.
The bike is used mainly for commuting / shopping / pleasure on the roads which are in Poor condition but does see off road use in gravel, cobbles and the smoother end of bridleways etc. The last two wheels have succumbed to flatspots.
With Mrs B on Maternity pay and a baby I ideally want to spend under £100 but could stretch a bit for something that's more durable. Can anyone recommend something?
I'm happy to consider second hand if anyone is selling !
