I have a Boardman MX Race hybrid, which has 700c wheels with 4D/XR 4DISC on the rims. I want to buy a rear wheel the same as the one on the bike to use on a turbo trainer. I have searched the net but can't find this wheel anywhere. Any ideas? I know Boardman used to use Alex rims but I don't think mine is an Alex.

It's highly unlikely you'll get one but do you need the exact same wheel? You don't need disc brakes on the TT so just get a cheapish rear wheel built up making sure you spec the same hub width. Your LBS should be able to do something for around £50.

No I don't really need an exact match but my OCD would prefer it wink

fair enough but for £30 can you really go wrong?

Keep an eye out on eBay? The OE wheels often seem to crop up!
