Wanted 26 inch front wheel rim brake only

[thisgoff]

Looking for a cheap wheel set for a build.
26” rim brake only, I have a 9 speed cassette ready to fit. Tyres would be a bonus.

If anyone has anything around Surrey or Dorset then I could collect.

I have these. Not sure if any good to you. Essex based though

Are we talking £20 cheap or £50 cheap?

I was just about to update this thread. I’ve picked up a decent rear wheel, D521 on LX hub for under £15 delivered (maybe I got lucky there)
Ideally I’d find something close enough to not have to pay postage.
But long story short I’m only after a front wheel now.

What colour rim/hub spec are you looking for? I have a few orphaned wheels, maybe one will suit. And I'm in Surrey.

Best option would be something Mavic in silver on something Shimano black; that would match well what I have on the back. I’m happy to go for anything that doesn’t need new bearings and isn’t miles out of true.

Here's what I've found. It's a deore hub on a silver rim. Rim is not Mavic but has similar profile/look to a Mavic wheel I have (rear) so you could remove the decks and it would look pretty similar I'd say.

Bearings are very good, rim is straight and true with zero brake surface wear. I'd not swear to it but the wheel could be new?

I have another front with a black LX parallax hub, but the rim is quite worn. If you wanted to transplant the hub over, I could include it.
