Some asshole stole my front wheel, need new 29" wheel for 20mm axle
Coming home from first ride of the year, somewhat ironically stopped at the Pearl Izumi store on the way home. Locked my bike on my Northshore rack, but didn't lock the front wheel. Got home, cue puzzled look on my face when my bike is hanging there without front wheel. Shit! Why do people suck??
So, I'm in need of a 29" front wheel compatible with 20 mm axle. The wheel that was stolen was a Stans Crest. Something in that kind of range would be good, I'm a fairly light XC guy. Anyone have anything to unload??

Are you sure it's a 20mm? I didn't know many folks were still running 20mm front wheels except for DH bikes. Ever since the industry convinced us 15x110 boost was a necessary "compromise" between 15x100 and 20x110.
Also, check out https://www.theproscloset.com/ they seem to have really good used and takeoff wheel deals.However many are in a shit ton.

I’m pretty sure it’s a 20mm axle. It’s an older bike I’ve upgraded over time, 2012 Rocky Mountain Element 950 with a Revelation RL29 fork. Here’s a pic of the fork, don’t have the bike with me now but I guess I just measure the internal diameter of the dropout? And I cant figure out why these pics are rotated or so huge...

I bet it's a 20. I had one of those forks from that vintage - it was definitely a 20.

It doesn't say somewhere ON the fork? RS is pretty good at labels.
Sorry about your wheel. Fuck bike (wheel) thieves.No longer stuck.

I checked, it is definitely a 20 mm. I have a lead on one used wheel locally, if that doesn't work out may go with the one SethSwallen linked above. And, yes, I will have to find an axle too.... sigh... Thanks for the help!

Several hubs are easily convertible from 15 to 20mm. Hope and dt might be the easiest to come across. If you see a wheel with a hope front hub and its 15mm, I think they're the cheapest to convert. 20mm end caps pop right on and are around $20
