I heard on a youtube vid that there's a lot of brand new really nice wheels on ebay due to people swapping them out as soon as they get the bike..
The tire on the bike I need a new wheel for says "23-622 700x23c" and I have no idea what that means.
It doesn't have to be anything fancy, it's just that it's been folded too many times.
If you guys could paste a few wheels for me from ebay that are a good deal and available to Canada, that would be great.
Oh ya, it's a front wheel and the bike is pic related.

4chan won't let me post the link, but what you want to put into ebay is "700c clincher front wheel"
Also, read this and you'll understand how wheel sizes work: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html

Why would you bother when you don't have any specific requirements and the Shimano R501 cost as little as they do?
I could see the point if you had to have a specific year of Campy Shamals for your retro build or some such, but if you just want a decent pair of not super light weight wheels - buy new.
Here's a front that would fit: http://www.wiggle.com/shimano-whrs010-clincher-front-wheel/

Nope, look at the hub, it's a bolt-on, you want one with a quick release.
On the bottom of that page you linked I see a Shimano R500 for a couple bucks more.

Looks like a winner if nothing else comes up ITT
Fucking guy at the store wanted to sell me a $200 wheel.

Just since we're here...how much should a shock pump cost?
>>1038435
I'm not a cannuck and can not say, but here in Europe they're about this expensive ↓ for a higher end model, including a 21% sales tax kind of thing.

Good and cheap → http://www.wiggle.com/michelin-lithion-2-folding-road-tire/
Great → http://www.wiggle.com/continental-grand-prix-4000s-ii-folding-road-tire/

waht does folding mean?
>>1038812
It's another word for "fucking google it"
>>1038812
The tyre bead is made of soft super fibre cord rather than a steel wire. This makes them soft and foldable which is good for transport and storage, but most importantly hundreds of grams lighter.

Why should I get this tire? I'm on the checkout screen and double checked...It's not very high pressure and that's what I'm used to.
Also, do you think the sale on the wheel will last more than a month? I'd really like to get a shock pump bundled with free shipping but they're out of stock for now.
Halp pls it's going to expire.
Except take-off wheels aren't that nice. That's why they are taken off bikes. They range from between bad to decent. They're not upgrade wheels unless you have bad OEM wheels and are trying to upgrade to OK OEM wheels.
They make passable replacements and can be cheap for the quality if building up a bike from scratch. But they're not upgrades.

I just need a replacement, don't care about quality.
I bought the recommended wheel and tire...hope you guys didn't fuck me (I'm pretty sure you didn't)
