Cheep but strong rear wheel please

jairaj

I'm looking for a new rear wheel, something as cheap as possible and strong enough for a bit of DH. I don't care about the weight at all and the hub needs to be 142x12 compatible.

I also have spare 6 bolt and centre lock rotors so not bothered about what rotor fitting.

I occasionally ride DH mainly at Aston Hill and my normal wheels (Stans Crest) really aren't built to ride that stuff regularly with my fat ars3 on the bike. I have a burly front wheel but no rear.

The best thing I've found so far is superstar DHX wheelset for £130

I was hoping to find a rear wheel for half that but if I choose the custom generator the rear on its own comes close to the whole wheel set price.

I don't think I'm going to better that offer but I thought I'd ask on here just in case some one saw something better.

If you want DH wheels then thats as cheap as it gets. They aren't bad and that price is a pair

yep - I think the single rear comes to about £100 with the custom builder so you may as well get the front for an extra £30 - maybe sell it on to recoup some cash?

I have the switch on the superstar dh rim on my Canyon.

Brilliant.
