I have a 26″hardtail and I badly damaged the rear wheel by slamming into a square edged rock whilst learning to bunny hop 😳
It’s now true but has a noticeable flat spot that I can feel when riding on smooth ground. I was going to take the bike to some new trails on sunday but I knew there were some jumps and didn’t want to risk the wheel collapsing under me if I cased a landing. I now realise that I have lost faith in the wheel and should probably replace it (XT XC Rim)
Ideally I’d like to be able to use the new rear wheel on my Liteville 301 in case I ever get a 160mm rocker arm for it so here are the requirements:
Strong and reasonably light
ability to go either QR or 142 x 12
Centrelock (not the most important)
International shipping
Candidates are:
Hope Pro Evo II on Stans Arch Ex
Spank Oozy
Any other reccomendations, obviously the cheaper the better.
