The rear wheel on my Trek Farley fat bike has died, and it looks like replacement Bontraeger Jackalope 26" wheels are no longer available, even second hand on E-Bay.
Does anybody know if there are any UK Fat bike forums with classified ads where such an item may be found?
If not, any smart alternatives to buying a carbon rim from Light Bicycle in China and getting the wheel rebuilt?
I was very lucky and found a pair on ebay recently.
These are the only TLR proper wide (i75) fat alloy rims ever made I think, which is a massive shame.
In my hunt I did order a pair of Sonder Hullabaloo carbon at their reasonable reduced price, but cancelled it once I'd seen the well hidden disclaimer that they are not tubeless (and after checking on the phone with them). Single wall, no chance of getting them to work.
So, I guess it's either ghetto a wide alloy rim with holes in, or TLR carbon from China. My frameset came from XM Carbonspeed some years ago, one of the good sellers.
