XC front Wheel on a budget

i flat spotted my WTB front wheel over the weekend on a gnarly root going too fast downhill... the more i look at it, i think the wheel has a hairline crack... I'm going to take it into a shop for their opinion.

If they say its not fixable... what would be a good front replacement wheel for someone on a budget?? i've never bought wheels before... the WTB came stock. I only ride XC and single track but i do enjoy the reward of the downhills...!

 

20mm or QR, 26" or 29", preferred width.....:?:

 

Why not get a replacement hoop and relace it?

 

its a 26"... beyond that i don't have a clue. it does not have a solid axle.

 

disk or v-brake?:?:

 

Here's budget for ya

 

Existing hub..... replace hoop with a sun cr18

 

i have a spare quick release single track front wheel you can have for a burger combo. (norms hamburger @ the corner of my street) straight and true. if intrested im in whittier. not too far from brea. want a pic?

 

my bad, its a rhino lite. heres a pic.

 

Alright... sorry for wasting soo much time without all the necessary info... ok, the current wheel is a WTB SX24 disc 26"...

how much can i expect to pay a LBS to lace a wheel?? What shop would you recommend to lace a wheel?

 

The Path laces all my wheels

 

Most shops are about 40 bucks labor plus spokes at abotu 50 cents for a standard silver 14 guage spoke, 75 cents for black 14 other spokes vary from there.
