Building a 26" MTB to Donate to teacher - Need cheap wheels

I am building another MTB to donate. This one will go to a female primary school teacher. The bike is almost completely built with parts donated by various parties. I had to buy the frame and a few odds and ends. One thing I cannot find is an affordable 26" wheel set. It must be disk brake hubs (I have 6 bolt rotors) that can take a 9 speed cluster. I have a nice set of disk brakes added to it. The bike will be used for trail riding and the odd race (in a recreational capacity).

 

I have a few sets of V-Brake wheels, but unfortunately nothing with 6 bolt hubs. I will donate these wheels to anybody in need of v-brake wheels. It will be greatly appreciated if there is a good soul that can possibly donate, or sell (budget cannot extend to more than R800) a set to me.

 

Thanks in advance!

To whom it may concern,

I have a set of Alex rims laying around that a friend of mine gave me.

They are 26" and if memory serves correctly they are 6 bolt rotors compatable.

The only issue is that the rear hub does have a bit of play on the free hub.

It may require a service or replacement, not to sure.

If interested, please reply to my work e mail :shane.lucey@za.sabmiller.com
