Took my heavier duty rear wheel in for truing and to have the hub retightened to the LBS. It is an XT hub with Mavic 819 rim, originally purchased from Merlin. The hub has worked loose a number of times and had to be tightened, most recently they used Loctite to try to stop it loosening up but it has loosened again!
Turns out there is now another issue - a large flattened spot they can't true out. I am off to Spain in 3 weeks and had planned on taking these wheels but clearly don't have much faith in them now!
So I am looking at getting another rear wheel for trail/ all mountain use (I have a lighter wheelset for xc/racing) and winter riding. not fussed about weight, does need to be durable and fairly cheap - feeling pretty damn broke at the moment. I want a rera wheel only option - under £100.
Any advice greatly appreciated!

Have a look at Merlin or SS custom wheel generator.0

Thanks for the reply Sonic. Whilst I know the Mavic/Shimano/Hope DT offerings from Merlin I don't know anything/haven't read anything about the SS options. Are they as good?0
