Options for a wide rim cheap rear wheel

[Richard86]

Hello, almost finished my bike build using a Zona Zenith frame.

Trying to keep things super cheap I was hoping I could just use some MTB wheels to get me rolling.

But, I've quickly realised that my frame is too wide so my HS33s won't reach the rim.

Measuring it up, it looks like I need a minimum width of 40mm.

 

What are the cheapest options for me. I'm looking at a 26" wheel, 135mm hub, with a multispeed cassette or freewheel.

Tarty bikes do this. Not cheep in my opinion, and hasn't got a wide enough hub at 115mm..

Single track bikes do this but I don't now the rim width, hub width nor if it's rim brake compatible. To be honest I'd rather not buy form somewhere that can't be bothered to list their items in full.

I'm struggling to find anything here. Do I just need to build my own?

Any other options for a reasonable price (sub £1000).

 

Also, for a 40mm+ wide rim, what's the narrowest tyre I should consider? Just want to know what the limits are. 

 

Thanks all.

Just measuring again, 36mm wide may work at a push, but that's with the cylinders all the way in, and lever quarter puller before it would grip the rim,
