New wheel to replace broken one

I've managed to bend my rear wheel and snap a spoke (don't ask, it involved the car, the bike rack and a wall) so I really need to replace it as I doubt a wheel on a Dawes discovery 201 is worth spending any money on.

My bike has a 7speed cassette and shimano sis or tourney rear mech.

Would http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261216435629 be ok, or am I going to need a different hub as its 7 speed on my bike.

Thanks

    Does your wheel have a screw on freewheel or a 7spd cassette, if it's a screw on freewheel then those wheels are no good unless you buy a new 7spd cassette and the spacer needed to run it on those wheels.

    remove the wheel and post a photo of the "cassette" without the skewer

    From the pics I can find on here and google, it's a screw on cassette.

    As its a 36 spoke rear wheel, will riding it with a snapped spoke cause any problems, if so, what should it cost to get the spoke replaced (is it something I could do myself?)

    5 pounds? 10 pounds?
    Otherwise do it yourself... but you need to remove the freewheel and you need the tool for that
