I need some dirt cheap wheels for my MTB. 15mm front axle, QR rear. The best I've seen is £80-ish on Jenson, but the postage would be astronomical. They don't have to be strong, they're only used for commuting to work because I don't want to wreck my knobblies on tarmac.

    Those are tyres, but thanks for pointing me at some cheap City Jets.

    Need something for a 55kg rider, road only.

    If it is just to save tyres then it wil be far more cost effective/quicker to just get some high voume sicks(or what ever suits your commute) and swap them over when needed. As you will need swap over or get another set of rotors, cassette, rim tape, tubes AND have to realign your brake calipers when you swap.

    Rear is pretty easy just have a look at the usual suspects but a cheap front might be difficult.

    Why are MTB economics; spend twice as much as you intended, but only half as much as you wish you could afford? :roll:
