Yes they are pretty easy to find. A friend of mine went down to the LBS and bought an old beat up one they had laying around for $25 which works perfect for him as a trainer wheel. Here is one I found on ebay after searching for less than 5min for $29.99. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Shimano-Rear-Wheel-Wh-r540-700c-Clincher-10...
^^^ This right here... heck if you've got a good relationship with your LBS (you do, don't you?) you can probably go down there with a 6 pack and they'll toss you one for free.
My back wheel needs to be trued up. It has a slight side-to-side wobble, and I feel at times like I'm going to lose control when I ride. Is this something that I should only trust to my LBS to do?
The wheels are my first area of concern and I have started to shop around. I find it nauseating to think of spending the same amount for wheels as my bike. Any help?
Don't know how to take that rear wheel off of your bike? Is the chain making things difficult? Learn how to remove your rear wheel if you have to change your bike tire or fix a flat.
This article estimates how much time can be saved in sprint races by converting from stock aero wheels found on most tri bikes to more aero disk and composite spoked wheels.
Bike upgrades to gain speed: better wheelsets, a tri-bike, road bike with aerobars, even getting rid of those love handles before getting that lighter bike.
