Front wheel stolen :( Looking for Tektro IO front disc or similar

good evening,

had some misfortune today. i have a halfords carrera kraken bike that
i paid around £399 18 months ago. really solid runner with no problems
in my 20-30 miles per week. i seldom leave it locked outside but was
in a real rush to work this morning and knowing that the stockroom was
full i decided to leave in in cardiff city centre locked to one of
those bike bars. i thought since it was borad daylight i would not
chain the front wheel. when i came back in a couple of hours time the
front wheel had gone!

so infuriating. i know that my insurance would not cover the cost of
that wheel as it should have been locked with the back stuff

so anyway, have been looking at replacements not. have already bought
some continental types for £19.99 each but now need to buy the actual
front wheel that would allow for disc brakes. i also need to get a
disc that would fit a tektro IO mechanical brake sustem. it seems to
be 160mm. having searched through quite a few online retailers,
manufacturers website (useless) and ebay, i have not found anything
useful.

would really be grateful if someone could point me to a place where i
could pick one of these front discs. don't mind second hand either as
long as not bent to death. it would save me from having to replace the
entire brake unit. the actual brake selector is shamano deore.

thanks very much

Merlin (www.merlincycles.co.uk) can be good for wheels (but nothing for
a single front at the mo) or try
