"Yay! That's a darn good price for a Wheel, cassette, tire, and tube -not to mention the expertise to get you exactly what you needed and make sure it all worked together.  I bet they even put it on the bike for you and made sure the…"

"Thanks for the replies, I ended up going to Working Bikes and they set me up with a back wheel for $46! Annoying that I had to get one bc it got stolen, but happy with what I got. A great place to get a nice used bike. Thanks again!"

"I've got an old hybrid backwheel with a broken you can have.  You'll have to get a new cassette and the wheel rebuilt, but it might save you a few bucks.  You can usually get cheaper ones for 60-80 at most Local BIke places"

"Thanks for the tips!  Is there an easy way to tell what the drop out spacing is for this type of bike?  Perhaps they would be able to tell if I bought it to Working Bikes. Thanks again! :)"

"Right, in addition, you'll need to know the number of speeds the old wheel was equipped with, and drop-out spacing (130mm vs 135mm)"

"You'll need a 700cc wheel and a cassette or cogs as well depending on if your bike is geared or FG/SS.  I'd check working bikes to see if they have something cheap you can use."

Looking for a back wheel for Specialized Crossroads Cruz

The back wheel on my Specialized CrossRoads Cruz hybrid bike was stolen, grrr. I was wondering if anyone happened to know where I can get an inexpensive used one. The wheel is size 700x380 (35-622 is another number on the tire).Thanks for all your suggestions!See More
