Will leave the bike till I can get new wheels. I take it it's a cheap to replace the whole wheel in these cases?
If the hub is nice, rebuild the wheel with new rim and new spokes. Or at least don't throw out the hub when you get a whole new wheel. Rim + spokes, you're probably looking at $60US at least. A shop will charge for the build, but it's easy enough to do yourself.
