I'll make an appearance weds, can't guarantee thurs myself as i'm pretty broke plus it doesn't make sense me paying to play if i have to wait on people not to play so i can borrow a bike.. Will try cranks for a new back wheel tonight.
That said, i wanted some advice - might fork out ahem for a new set, can any one see any immediate issues with these:

These two sets are better build obviously but the bankrupt might be a bit wide - might need to get new tyres & tubes to accommodate and the Alex rims are good but with a 'minor buckle' already in the back wheel its only a matter of a few heafy bumps before that goes right???..
