BT twin 540 mountain bike wheel

[david k]

Hi

After more advice sorry!!

The back wheel on my bt twin is buckled after a massive blow out the other month. Got it all fixed at the LBS but they said it wasnt great and you may need to upgrade next time.
I use the bike and so does my son, we are both well over 6 foot and around 17/18stone so need something solid

Any recommendations on an upgraded wheel?
LBS said the wheel wasn't a very good one, quite cheap so if I'm swapping I want a better one

Size? If not sure check the tyre.

Thanks I guess the £35 one is the same as is on from new?
Big jump to next wheel over £100!

Check out other sellers of course like Wiggle / CRC / Halfords or for cheaper eBay/Amazon?

Any good, these are a wheel set so you get front and rear, they'll improve the bike loads

This is inexpensive and has a decent number of stars
