Anyone got any good sources for cheap half decent 700c/29” trail disk brake wheels? Bearings on my front one have just died, and so did I when I looked at the prices for a new wheel yikes the bike was only £500 new so I’m loathed to spend a fortune, no more than a £100 for a pair as I might as well do both seeing as its pretty likely the rear will go soon.

Most modern wheels have cartridge bearings, cheap and easily replaced, can't yours be fixed?

Thanks, I haven’t looked but as the entire bike was cheap it’ll probably have cup and cone cheapo specials no doubt, it’s got an ebike conversion on it so I’d rather put some new ones on as it does get a fair battering.
