Hi guys,

Bent up the back wheel on my Pinnacle 2.0 after a bit of an adventure down the side of a hill. I'm using this super budget bike instead of pranging up a decent bike.
The rear wheel has JALCO 26" 559x16C // 6061H-T6 on it.

Any ideas on what I should be looking for as a cheap replacement - unsure how important all of the numbers are.

TIA

    If you replace the wheel and then do the same riding you'll probably end up wrecking the new wheel as well. If you used a 'decent bike' it wouldn't get pranged up!

    Anyway, you just need to change the wheel with a like for like replacement. 559X16C is the dameter and width of the rim: it's a 26" rim with an internal width of 16mm.
    6061H-T6 is the grade of aluminium the rim is made of and the heat treatment it has received.
    Make sure you get a wheel with the same hub spacing and fixing (e.g. quick release or thru axle).

    Exactly this ^^ but to add a little to make sure and after a quick google of your reference this came up:-

    A few pics would help of rim (unlikely rim brake), cassette type (unlikely freewheel), brake rotor mount standard would make sure all the existing parts can be re-fitted to the new wheel.
