Hi all, long time lurker here but need some advice.
I sold my road bike and got myself a Norco search "adventure / gravel" bike last summer. Took it out a few times and had fun but then cracked the bottom bracket and a few spokes popped so I took it to the lbs for a fix and then parked it in the garage and stuck to the mtb for the long winter.
Anyway, long story short, I ventured out on it again during lock down but the back wheel is out of shape again after 2 rides. 2 Spokes have snapped at the nipples again on the drive side.
The wheels are a bit shit anyway to be fair so I decided to just swap them... but I can't find anything to fit. I'm not bike smart, at all, so I'm struggling.
The Search goes with a 15mm bolt-thru axle up front, and a conventional quick release out back, it's a 135x10 qr with 11 speed 105 cassette. and the wheels are 700s.
Can anybody suggest some budget friendly wheels or just a rear? I've driven myself mad with the lack of results on my many Google searches this weekend! I can't find anything for the rear...
Thanks in advance!
Budget?
Plenty of options on wiggle ~£300 or less
Cheap and cheerful for now, I just want to get out on the bike without having to fix it everytime I go out. I'll take strength over lightweight, I'm 6'3" and 100 kilos so not going out to break any strava segments.
Cheers
