    Hi,

    I'm trying to source a rear 11spd shimano road wheel for the turbo and trainer tyres. Looking to pick up for less than 50 if possible :D ... any suggestions gratefully received!

    Well you're not going to get one new for that sort of price, so your main options are probably our Cycling Adverts sub-forum, Adverts.ie, Donedeal and the like

    Rose have this for €61, you will have to pay €8 postage but if you register with them you will get €10 off your first order.

    This wheel has an 11 speed compatible freehub. There are cheap pairs of Shimano R501 wheels there for €79 but they are not 11 speed compatible.

    Cheers might consider that, yeah I'm also seeing these for 99euro but i don't need a front (http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/shimano-pr-whls-rs010/#pid=29053). As I need a cassette also i'm trying to keep the cost down as best I can

    Pop into your local bike shop. They might have old used wheels for free which are perfect for turbos. I got a used aksium for free which I use on the turbo.

    I was on here last week looking for same thing. Had no luck in any of the LBS when I went asking. Any rear wheels that are being upgraded are being retained for same purpose as I want, those being discarded have been bumped or damaged and therefore no use on the turbo. One poster (Foxmoves) however kindly offered me one. Didn't work out for me due to logistics but might work for you if you make contact.

    In the end I bought a new wheelset on offer from Chain Reactions & cassette from Wiggle.
