I'm looking to buy new(newer) wheels than the ones that where on the bike but we did fit the original wheel with a 7 speed and it fitted with a bit of persuasion (not enough to make any difference to the stays) but never the less it fitted...
I just briefly read up on sheldon browns website regarding freewheel and freehub and technically speaking could I disregard the cassette I have now find a decent set of wheels and then just buy a new freewheel/cassette depending on what that wheel takes?
also any advice on wheel brands to steer clear of and ones to bare in mind? I'm looking to spend less than £100 for a pair as I want to make this re-build as cheap as possible to get me back out riding sooner (I know its not much to spend on wheels and yes I know it's worth the wait for better quality but still...)
thanks for your replies guys much appreciated
