Bought a Trek 7.1fx hybrid bike about 2 years ago. it came with 700x38 tyres/wheels and i keep having trouble with the rear wheel. Two broken axles and broken spokes on two occasions. Spoke to LBS yesterday and he said he could make me up a rear wheel which is much stronger for about £100. Any idea if this is a good price? Please bear in mind that the bike was only £300 new!
Incidentally, my current wheel is 'having problems' because it has a screw on cassette rather than the newer ones that slide on, and mine has more 'give' on the rear axle because of where the bearings are (if that makes sense??)
As always, any help appreciated
