Where and how is the best way to get a rear wheel with hub, cassette and training tyre that I can just stick on the bike and train?

 

I see most of whats in the classifieds are sets and exclude cassettes.

There are a few options

One of them is to upgrade the wheel set on your current machine. Use the old rear wheel for the trainer and toss the front one in the shed for a rainy day

If you get a old wheel without a cassette head off to Cajees in Fourways, ask for a 10speed Deore cassette and a slick tyre and tube, haggle over price. Go home and install

 

The other is to do as EDB recommends and see what comes up there.

I have some NOS Shimano Dura Ace hubs here which I build up for guys just like you. They're 36-spoke wheels and I use DRC ST-17 rims and Conti yellow tyres. The cassette is optional, it depends on what range and quality you like. I usually have a few of these pre-built for winter requests.

Ah, Johan, I've been meaning to contact you with regards to another matter.

What sort of money am I looking at for the trainer with a 10 spd cassette? Im not too stressed about the quality of the cassette (maybe just Deore).
