Help!! new back wheel needed fast(ish)

[therams]

OK, so I am heading off on a 5 tour on 1st July and my bike is without a back wheel!!

The LBS has let me down regarding a new back wheel. I was looking for something pretty tough and was going to get 105 hubs, Open Pro Rims, 36 Spokes hand built. I weight 90kg and and luggage will be about 13kg.

Anyway, does anybody have any recommendations as to where I can find something at short notice, preferably hand built...

Thanks!!!!

PS I live in Manchester.

Ebay may be a good place to start for either new or used wheels.

Have you tried SDpa. They are tried and tested.

you need spa cycles, they do get busy however and may need 2 or 3 days notice this time of year. if you leave it any longer to ring them they may not be able to help
