Front wheel stolen :( Looking for Tektro IO front disc or similar
good evening,
had some misfortune today. i have a halfords carrera kraken bike that i paid around £399 18 months ago. really solid runner with no problems in my 20-30 miles per week. i seldom leave it locked outside but was in a real rush to work this morning and knowing that the stockroom was full i decided to leave in in cardiff city centre locked to one of those bike bars. i thought since it was borad daylight i would not chain the front wheel. when i came back in a couple of hours time the front wheel had gone! so infuriating. i know that my insurance would not cover the cost of that wheel as it should have been locked with the back stuff so anyway, have been looking at replacements not. have already bought some continental types for £19.99 each but now need to buy the actual front wheel that would allow for disc brakes. i also need to get a disc that would fit a tektro IO mechanical brake sustem. it seems to be 160mm. having searched through quite a few online retailers, manufacturers website (useless) and ebay, i have not found anything useful. would really be grateful if someone could point me to a place where i could pick one of these front discs. don't mind second hand either as long as not bent to death. it would save me from having to replace the entire brake unit. the actual brake selector is shamano deore. thanks very much puck ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Puck Contact Email: puckfaery@ (the rest of the address should be the email service provided by google) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
