my 18 stone mate was riding it, and hit a kerb then tried to skid(well just stop his legs) and the lockring thread is now nonexistant and the whole wheel is buckled.
i found a shop which have a halo rear in stock but i doesnt have £100 on me -

Leave it there and get the Tube home? Get your mate to find one?

Was that your Create wheel? Not surprised it broke!
Good luck sorting something out.

It's not really urgent if you "don't do buses or trains".

Looks like you're sleeping at your mate's for a while then..
I have a spare Powertap fixed.. yours for £450. :)

Have you not tried the bike shop that is in Brentford? Right there on the High St. Won't be great, but they'll get you going. Otherwise... a walk up to Brentford train station is how you're getting home.

i have a spare rear wheel in ealing common. with 16t freewheel atm, i recently regreased the hub and replaced the bb's but still not running so smooth you can have for 40 if your in real need.

Can you at least straighten it enough to allow it to rotate in the frame?
Sorry to hear about this. You should be able to walk home.

so i managed to true the wheel enough so i can ride it, and i switched it to a freewheel
but my front brake is barely working. so if i canny find anything i rekcon i8 can get home on a freewheel using the feet as brakes. but ideally id still ilke a fixed. so i dont have to put on different bars, and a rear brake etc.
and whizz bike on the highstreet were useful but they were the the ones who had the halo rear in stock. but still £100 too much for moi (well for today) -
