BT Twin 540 wheels

[david k]

A few months ago whilst whizzing along a local track my back wheel exploded😲😲😲
Just a very loud puncture

The wheel was a mess, the LBS fixed it up and said it's fine but probably won't survive another blow out
So I was planning on upgrading but don't know enough to select

Anyone know what wheels are on last year's BT Twin? And which wheel would be a small upgrade?

Would welcome any advice please

Just realised I've asked this question before when I just googled it
I hadn't seen the replies, yes they are 27.5 and some good suggestions but now out of stock

Not sure why a puncture would require replacing the wheel. A tyre perhaps, but not the wheel.

It happened at full speed and I'm not the lightest, it made a right mess of the wheel

Looks good but how am I to know if it's better than the ones that came with the bike
