Default STOLEN WHEEL: How do I replace a front wheel for Carrera Subway LTD

Hello,

Came home from the station last night only to find some dirty oik hade made off with the front wheel!!

I had locked up the frame and back wheel. Anyway, luckily, the disc brake has not gone as well, so result there, but I need to replace the wheel of my Carrera Subway LTD Commuter Bike.

The wheel is a 26" limited edition white MTD wheel. I cannot find a place in halfords or where I can buy a Carrera wheel direct.

Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

From frustrated newbie cyclist.

Functionally speaking there's no need to go looking for a Carrera wheel. Any 26" disc brake wheel with the same size brake rotor and the same kind of axle should slide right in, although you might have to adjust the position of the brake caliper a little.
