I'm sure buying a whole new wheel is the most cost-effective route. But are there any affordable front wheels with radial lacing? Also, my desire to learn wheelbuilding is a consideration. I would imagine that most inexpensive new wheels are machine-made, and from what I've read, an experienced wheelbuilder can do a better job than a machine.
