Woot... new front wheel arrived, its 622-19 which is exactly what I wanted, already comes with some lovely green plastic rimtape that looks to be perfect.

Just need a front QR Skewer now to fit it to the bike.

Anyone got one in a parts box theyd like to send me for a couple of quid/dollars?? :)

With little stuff like that its almost always worth checking the bike shop first.  I could have bought a half-link of ebay for £4.99, but on a whim asked the LBS and they gave me one in exchange for a shiny 50p piece.  But that said, sometimes you can get yourself a bargain.

hmm LBS it is I think. Ebay is fair enough but that guy is just offering "QR Skewer" doesnt say if its front, rear, road, or MTB. Ive no real idea what I really need, so I think its easier if one of you lot says "yea... I got one, itll fit a front road wheel fine" or Ill go to the LBS and get one from there :) At least at the LBS I can take it back and get a refund if its the wrong size.
