Where do I find a good fixed rear wheel?

bigpikle

I'm trying to find a good quality fixed rear wheel for my winter trainer conversion - 126 or 130mm spacing.

There seem to be countless fashion wheels all over the place and no-name options in any colour you like, but I want something with a quality rim and hub that will take plenty of training miles at a fair price.

Recommendations greatly appreciated.

The navigator wheels from Dolan.

Navigator wheels are just about ok for track but general use? no way.

Get a Miche hub and ask Malcom at Cycle clinic to build it for you.

Thanks - this seems to be my issue. Found few track wheels but wonder about suitability for wet winter roads?

I'll reach out to Malcolm as well - thanks

They're bob on for winter use! Unless you are talking about the track specific pista wheels.
