Damaged my rear wheel today. Chain leapt off biggest sprocket, mangled a spoke :(

I ride a Scott Sub 20 hybrid with 26 x 1.0" slicks for quick commuting. Can anyone suggest a good, lightweight replacement for under £100? Rim's gotta be thin enough to support a 1.0" tyre.

Many thanks,
Mark

    I did this 2 weeks back.I bought new spokes,which cost me 50p each and trued it myself.
    Do you really need a new wheel or just fancy an upgrade?

    Thanks Spidey. You may be right. Gonna read about fixing spokes and wheel truing. Might be a cheap escape. Wheel definitely needs truing as now it's wonky and rubs against brake pads that were perfectly aligned just 2 days ago! :(

    Would still love to hear suggestions for a complete rear wheel though.
