    Hi Guys,

    Looking for a basic back wheel which I can put a 10 speed block on and old tyre and use on a turbo.

    To save me doing a pile of research has anybody bought a cheap one one recently and have a link to to ?

    I'm happy to pay a little bit more than rock bottom to have something I can use as a backup winter spare wheel or even backup race wheel but its mainly the turbo I'm looking to use it for.

    Swim cycle run used to have a back wheel for around €50/60 iirc a while back. Nothing fancy but plenty good enough for the turbo.

    Good turbo/winter wheels, cant sniff at the price for the wheelset.

    Thanks, just pulled trigger on this. Wheels seem reasonably good and from the quick look I had, its the best price for them.

    Was really only the back I was looking for but rear wheels seem to cost almost as much as a set so you may as well have the spare front included too.

    Any they look fine too for an extra set of winter wheels.

    I have that wheelset on my bike, never had an issue with them, good solid wheels.
