Looking for a training wheel for my TT bike, I've jsut started using an 808 Firecrest front which is superwide, so every time I want to swap to a different wheel I have to adjust the brake caliper setup. Getting to be a bit of a faff so wondered if there is a decent, cheap option for a training wheel with the same rim width so I can leave the brakes untouched?

Any recommendations please?

    HED Ardennes plus are 25 mm, so close enough... they come as wheelset (expensive) or as rims to be built, which is the cheaper option.
    At 24 mm Pacenti SL 23 and Velocity Chukker, only come as rims to be built. Plenty of rims at 23 mm, but probably not wide enough

    Yeah... you might be able to buy an Ardenne wheel rear only, but they are bloody expensive as they are built with un-necessarily expensive components. If you are local give me a shout... the same thing can be built a lot cheaper, if it's a training wheel
