Hi guys
I seem to be getting more & more confused the more i look wheels up on the web.
My rear wheel on my boardman team hybid has a slight buckle in it that the lbs were unable to straighten. When im looking up wheels they seem to fall into mtb or road wheel catogories. i cant seem to find a 700c wheel that can take a disk for braking.
Does any body have any recomendations.

    Shop around, they exist but are relatively rare, 29er MTB wheels are the same but may weigh a bit more than your originals.

    Why can't your LBS true the wheel, its not usually hard unless its had a very heavy impact, the wheels are effectivley 700c road rims on MTB disc hubs so you could get the wheel rebuilt re-using what you can.
