Stolen Wheels

Had both wheels stolen from Boardman Hybrid Comp yesterday. Real bummer as from a secure garage, luckily bike lock stopped whole bike going.

Question :

Can anyone recommend a good route of replacing parts, looking on internet for parts but struggling a little.

Wish list is ;

SRAM PG950 11-32T Cassette
160mm rotor discs for Tektro IO mechanical system
DDM-1 disc specific, double wall, 32H rims
Formula disc, super smooth sealed bearing hubs

I have also contacted halfords to see if they could replace parts via Boardman but am fearing will be expensive that route!

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

If you're looking for 700c wheels with discs, your choice will be limited. Chain Reaction cycles were doing some FSA 'cross wheels a while back at a good price. Otherwise, you'll have to get your LBS to build some up for you. Also invest in a cable to pass through your rims when you lock your bike.

Thanks for the reply, are these the wheels you metioned?

FSA RD-460 Disc Cyclocross Wheels

I also presume they will be compatible with the SRAM PG950 Cassette 9sp?

Thanks in Advance.

Yup, that's them - a friend has them on his crosser and he's pleased with them lightweight and fine for your SRAM cassette too

Sorry to hear your bad news and unfortunately I can't help with your query but I normally lock my front wheel to the back wheel threading the U lock through the seat stays. Bit late now I know!

Good luck in your quest....

I'd get them built up locally, much better route, go for xt hubs, dtswiss souble butted spokes and some decent rims, well built up they'll be fine. As for cassette, I'd but a shimano one as they tend to last better than SRAM, I'd just go for deore, you'll also probably want a new chain to go with it.

You might want to consider pitlock security skewers for future peace of mind.
