Need to replace rear wheel
My rear wheel, Bontrager race lite 700 and Dura ace hub with 10 speed cassette was stolen. Please help with suggestions. My thinking is Ebay for replacement. But Can I buy an new equivalent for less than the Bontrager and be happy? Please help with ideas, I am not a gear **** so I need help. And retired, so yes, money is an object.

This is a popular and sturdy wheelset at a bargain price: Vuelta Corsa HD Road Wheelset - Wheels & Wheelsets
The quality is well below Dura Ace, however. What is your price target?

I have never ridden Dura-Ace, so I can't be definitive, but I have found that for me, any Shimano hub is durable and functional. I like my wheels to maintain a similar look, but I don't worry about exact components.... I would personally look for a similar looking wheel with any Shimano road hub... and would also consider other hubs as long as they are Shimano compatible.

I would love to stay under 500 for whatever I need, but that may be unrealistic.
