My rear wheel is shot - my fault, ignored loose spokes for too long and now the rim is so far out of true that the tyre brushes the fork and one of the spokes has ripped out of the rim.

Bike is a Spec Sirrus hybrid with 700c wheels with disc brakes.

The guy in my LBS advises me that I'll be better off just buying a new wheel rather than having it rebuilt at this price point, but I'm struggling to source a budget 700c wheel with disc hubs from the usual online places.

Factory built mid-spec 700c commuting/touring wheels seem to be easily gettable for about £50ish from Wiggle/Merlin/Parker etc but I'm struggling to find a ready built wheel with disc brake hubs.

Anyone know where I can get one - or am I going to end up having to get the wheel rebuilt ?

Just get a Deore hub built up onto a A319 or A719 rim. Won't cost that much more than £50.

Off the top of my head I can't remeber who built my XT/Sputnik rims but if I remember I ceck on the ride to work tomorrow.
