Someone one said that "good" is the enemy of "best".
In this case, it's going to be a choice between "good enough" (barely) and "good" (what's actually going to last for more than a couple weeks).

If you have $100 to spend now, you'll have at least a couple of choices:

1) Fritter it away, $25 at a time, repairing your current wheel
2) Spend it on a cheap (sorry, for us Clydes $100 only buys cheap) wheel that probably will be temporary
3) Eat more beans & rice and mac & cheese (that's a metaphor, not to be taken literally!) and save for a real wheel -- one that can serve you for a long time. It'll might take until spring to fatten the pig (another metaphor = piggy bank), but you'll be glad when it happens.
