edited October 2016 in Road buying advice
Need to get a spare wheel for use on the turbo this winter. Currently swap tyres every time I put the bike on which is fine but a bit of a faff.

Keeping an eye out on ebay/gumtree for something but not got very far.

Probably just going to buy one. Needs to take an 11spd Shimano cassette.

Is this £59.99 (minus BC discount) Shimano RS010 wheel the cheapest around?

    Some turbos don't destroy the tyres any more than riding on the road ? Cheaper option maybe ?

    Full wheelset from Wiggle is surely a better option. Seem to review pretty well too.

    Ebay. Plenty of people selling no brand wheels that come as standard on entry level bikes and the like.

    Hell, if your interested I have a set of Mavic Cosmic Elite that are only good for the turbo. Freehub is going/gone and brake track are end of their life.

    That's the wheel I bought for our trainer. Same price it was this time last year. BC discount kicks in once you factor in a turbo tyre and a cassette... and probably a couple of inner tubes to make it up.
