Disc or rim brakes? What's it got at the moment?

I'd get the same wheel that's in the machine now - Boardman dealer? - if you ever sell the bike then non-original or odd f&b wheels will raise questions . . .

Presumably it's because the back one got pringled in some way?
It's often as cheap to buy a pair, plenty of pairs of branded rim brake wheels for under £100
e.g. if 10 speed https://www.merlincycles.com/shimano-wh-r501-clincher-road-wheelset-49086.html
or 11 speed https://www.merlincycles.com/shimano-wh-rs010-clincher-road-wheelset-84403.html

Might want a new cassette and chain while you're at it if worn

Is it an MX comp? If it is, don't get a straight replacement Boardman rear wheel. They are beyond rubbish. I have an MX comp, the original wheels were so bad I had to bin them after less than 1000 miles ( it was impossible to keep them trued, and the rear bearings were made of cheese). I replaced the original wheels with these.

It effectively turned the bike into a 29'er, but it works better as a 29'er anyway.

Thanks for the replies. I'll try and explain a little better, it's for a road bike, I've put a new rear wheel on it recently which cost me £100, but the hub has been damaged so looking for some different suggestions from you guys.
It's a brake pad set up, not disc. The entry level road bike, Boardman comp.

Thanks once again Eldridge.

See post #4
Or get a new hub?

Aha, in which case, these are pretty good for the money. Straight replacements, they are pretty solid, and last well. There are some quirks ( type of spoke nipple and the bladed spokes for example) but they haven't given me any reason to worry about those things on the bikes I've used them on.
