Hi

Would appreciate some help.

I bought my son a Voodoo Bizango. He recently buckled the front wheel and I need to get a replacement. I can get an identical one from Halfords for about £65. Should he get this replacement or for a similar price is there another wheel that folk would recommend?

Many thanks

    Front or back? Axle standard? Size?

    Front

    15mm and I think it's got Q-loc quick release

    Thanks

    Needs to be a 15mm 29er then.

    Hi.
    Did you get this sorted? - which option did you choose?

    I also have a buckled bizango wheel, will find out tomorrow if my lbs can true it up.

    Hi NeoVR

    I ordered the front wheel from Merlin - see the link posted by The Rookie. It arrived quite quickly and seems fine.

    Hope you get sorted.

    Hi Richard.

    Thanks for that. On closer inspection both my wheels are done! - not a good start on 29er ownership.. Only had the bike a couple of days.
