I am after a cheap rear wheel that runs true for my turbo sessions. Preferably with a 10 speed Shimano cassette fitted. Didnt know where else to put this so hopefully not infringing forum rules???

I imagine an Ebay search would bring up something suitable where the seller has upgraded and is selling their old wheels.

I have been looking there but not too much on offer. Not comfortable with ebay as things are not always as stated. I have also been on bikeradar forums but most are being sold as pairs.

Is the best I have found so far as a pair. Alternative if you want a rear wheel on its own is:

Wont pay for a knackered wheel for the same price you can get these. Sure the cheapy above would be fine.

If you are in SW London, I would sell you a Rodi Racing rear with Shimano fit but no cassette for £30. Free tyre if you want it too. It's perfectly straight, fairly light and similar quality to the R500s.

Have a wander around London - plenty attached to barriers on their own where they didn't lock the bike up properly hehe
