I'm looking to replace my wheels on my commuter. Can you recommend a decent, cheap set?

The bike is a 2010 carrera virtuoso. So I am not looking for anything fancy, just solid wheel which is hopefully a bit lighter than the ones that came with it.

Cheers

    Budget? Not everyone has the same idea of what counts as 'cheap'! :)

    Look on here at the classifieds - e.g. theres a set of Shimano RS10's cheap.

    Obviously they are not high end wheels but they are durable and well built.

    good point. The bike is only worth £250 new. I was hoping to get some change from £75-£100
