First post on cyclingforums.com so; Hi all!
I commute to work everyday, around 10-15 miles daily (depending if i go out during lunch). I went out and purchased a Claude Butler Urban 300 bike around 3 months ago, which has been ok.
I was involved in a collision with a car, the driver did not see me and hit me side on. Details were not taken as bike seemed fine, however clearly isnt now. I have had the bike extensively looked over and the frame is ok (around 0.5mm out) but the front and rear wheels are slightly buckled. The bike cost me £300 and i want to replace the wheels and keep the bike.
I recently fitted 32mm tyres to the bike (michelin slicks) and the difference was immense, so i have decided to chose a 700c x 23mm wheel now.
Im looking for front and rear wheels, with tyres and the rear with a 9 speed hub (suitable for my schimano gears).
I know little about bike parts, but am confident at assembly.
What you recommend for under £100?
Thanks in Advance
Adam
