Replacement front wheel (for a hybrid bike)

aligibbs · 2014-03-10T17:04:25+00:00

Hi All, Had an incident on my brand new bike (3 weeks old), and now need a new front wheel. Got one of these: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_992052_langId_-1_categoryId_165534 Rims: Boardman E4P Doublewall - 32 Hole Hubs: 9mm QR - 32 Hole So needs to be a 700cc wheel, with the ability to take a disk brake. I don't quite know what I am looking at here. Price wise, £70-100 for a front wheel, or willing to spend £150-200 for a wheelset. Weight doesn't matter- prefer it to be bombproof and weigh more.... Thanks in advance

Hi All,
Had an incident on my brand new bike (3 weeks old), and now need a new front wheel. Got one of these:
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_992052_langId_-1_categoryId_165534

Rims: Boardman E4P Doublewall – 32 Hole
Hubs: 9mm QR – 32 Hole

So needs to be a 700cc wheel, with the ability to take a disk brake. I don’t quite know what I am looking at here. Price wise, £70-100 for a front wheel, or willing to spend £150-200 for a wheelset. Weight doesn’t matter- prefer it to be bombproof and weigh more….

Thanks in advance

Maybe the bog standard 29″
Maybe the bog standard 29″ (that’s 700C) disc wheels from Superstar Components?

It’s £77.50 and the parts are decent, if nothing special. Would do you well.

mmmm, £260 might be slightly out of my price range. Look nice though, will have a think. Thanks for that (both).
