Topic: Steel front wheel source?

[Zelandeth]

Surprised to be asking this question, as expected it to be a ten second ebay or Amazon job!

Where on earth do you guys get steel front wheels from?  Found zillions of places selling whole bikes, but a seeming complete dearth of the wheels alone.

Would really like to get a steel wheel on the front of mine so I can actually get an appreciable amount of force from the front brakes.  Plus the rims of mine are less than stellar as they've been run around with flat tyres by kids apparently.

Have struck out at all my local bike shops, plenty of places I can get whole bikes or generic tyres...but no wheels.

I am sure that Woodrup Cycles in Leeds will sell you a wheel.01132636212

Tried Gumtree? Kids bikes on there sell for about a tenner. A wheel from a bike shop will cost more than that.
