    I taco'd my 29er front wheels at Aliso last week, sucks. I just picked up a new set of Stans Flow's tonight built up by the Path.

    Before I decided on new wheels I looked at cheap wheels there. The cheapest 29er wheel was about $100. Maybe a 26" is a little less. I've found that matching the factory Speciy wheel is impossible. Not sure if you wanna match something, but can be tough to get the same profile and color.

    Good Luck.
