Need a new rear wheel

[stalagmike]

The rear wheel on my Triban has finally given up the ghost and so I'm on the lookout for a replacement. I'm quite heavy (about 100kg) so I need something robust that will take a few potholes. However, I don't have the money for custom build. Can anyone recommend a factory wheel with a high spoke count 700c Shimano cassette and clincher? Cheap as poss. TIA.

What speed is the bike?
finding a stock wheel with 32-36 spokes can be a bit of a challenge, maybe a Shimano offering?
or something like this?

is the front black or silver rim/spokes (if you care that is!)

Disc brakes ,? Rim brakes ?

Old posts suggest a Triban 3, so rim?

Something from Spa? £95 and 36 spokes

Sorry. Yes, it's a Triban 3 with rim brakes and 8 speed cassette

Front is black.

How’s the rim on the front? Might be easier to get a pair

Rims appear fine. It's the rear hub that's knackered. I think you're right. There's a bloke nearby selling a pair of Aksiums for under £90 but with only 20 spokes I'm worried they wouldn't be up to the job

i wouldn’t at your weight on skinny tyres. Not sure Mavic spokes are easy to come by either

This looks like a reasonable replacement to me. I think I'll order one of these. Just for completing the thread!

Don’t forget to add a roll of the correct width tape to your order (they might be sold out of Velox unfortunately)

Have you considered getting your LBS to just replace the freehub (or bearings) if that's all that "knackered"?

I did the bearings myself a couple of times but it's ok for a while but then the adjustment goes out and wheel gets wobbly. I did think of asking the LBS to do just the freehub but that would work out at the same cost as for a new (entry level ) wheel
