The rim's wearing out on the CX bike I used for commuting - I've already swapped it out once, I reused the spokes and just swapped the rim.
I could do the same again, but many people say that reusing spokes is bad, mmmkay - so doing it twice is making me just a bit nervous
Looking around, I've seen shimano r500 wheelsets starting at arounf £70 for a pair - but the front wheels are radially laced, not laced 3 cross. Is it a massive difference in terms of strength?
I'm not racing on the bike, I'm riding it to and from work with a rack and pack and am not the smoothest and most subtle of riders...
