Bike Wheel Help Needed
So I averted an accident yesterday, but my bike wasn't so lucky as it took a hit on its rear wheel resulting in it being bent beyond repair. I'm only looking for the rear wheel if I can find it but I'm not the most experienced with wheels. Does any one know what I should be looking for? I have a 54' Redline 925 the specs on the wheel are 700c (which I believe to be the size) and 622x 14 (not sure what that's for). The spacing is 120mm-125mm est. Is that all I need to know or is there anything else I should be looking for?
I'd like to look for something myself before I take it to a bike shop since their stuff is on the expensive side.
Thanks in advance

That redline has 120mm rear spacing, so any standard 700c track spaced wheel will work for you.
What wheel did you lose? any pics of it of you dont know?

It is a Jalco and its also a fixed/single speed wheel as well. So if I'm looking for a wheel all I need to know is the spacing (120) and size (700c)? I appreciate your response. Here are two pics

I don't have any preference over new or used as long as they're in good condition. I've checked on there but the search only gives me two sets.

well, I'd take a look here: https://www.velomine.com/index.php?ma...x&cPath=87_172 for great priced wheelsets.
They have as cheap as 100 bucks for both front and rear, to much higher than that.

Cool dude I appreciate your feedback. So if I buy the wheel all I need to do is remove both gears and place them on the new one correct?

Hey dude you've become my go to guy for the day lol. I actually found these specialized wheels on craigslist and wanted to see if you think the price is legit or if the tires themselves are good. Thanks again

Wabi. I've been happy with mine, built really well, and very cost effective. Only $95 for the rear wheel.
