Can anyone recommend a decent set of 26" rim brake wheels which won't break the bank?

Refurbing an old 7 speed MTB to use as a pub bike and it seems all the wheels online are either very very cheap or around £200.

Looking for something in the middle, or I guess second hand from 'on here' if not knackered.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Have a look at Decathlon’s offerings, they often do decent stuff at decent prices.

If it’s 26-er’s you’re after, often real bargains on that other forum.
Clearly these in the link below are miles from The London but the thread always has postage options if you have a rummage :)

Halfords do a pair of Pro Lite wheels. Friend of mine runs them on his 90s GT Tequesta and is happy with them, £130 pair

I think @passhunting has a very nice dynamo pair on sale.

They've gone sadly. I had my eye on them for my latest tandem

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
