Wheel set for turbo trainer
I am looking for some advice on buying an additional rear wheel for use with my turbo trainer.
I currently have a FulCrum Racing Sport rims – which have a 142mm thru axle on the rear wheel. However, I am struggling to find a replacement 700c rim, at reasonable cost, which can take a 142 thru axle and an 11 speed Shimano cassette.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I am not looking for anything fancy, simply something that I can use on the trainer so that I don’t need to keep swapping the tyres on my main wheel.

Haha, good point. I pasted the wrong link. The rear is availale at Tredz and Tweeks cycles for £75, but I've not priced postage.
I don't think you'll find anything substantially cheaper.

For turbo use it should never really wear out.
definitely won’t be wearing out a front wheel on the turbo
find the cheapest rear disc hub you can, bitex or whatever, and build it onto the cheapest rim you can find. You can be done for 50 quid
