In need of some advice and recommendations, (again). Currently commute on a hard tail MTB and the rear wheel has suffered a few broken spokes over time and on the last visit to get the spoke replaced the mechanic advised that it may be time to get a new wheel, (no heavy sell).
Current wheel is a Bontrager Ranger Series 6000 (559x18) with a Shimano FH-M475 hub laced with stainless steel spokes. It also has disc brakes.
Now the questions -
a) Any recommendation for what wheel to buy (may look to buy a pair but front is fine). Budget up to £100 per wheel. 90% + is used for road commuting but some off road use.
B) Assuming I buy a replacement wheel how easy is it to swap over i.e. I assume it will come with the hub and free wheel and I just need to move over the cassette and disk mount / disc?
Thanks as ever for your opinions and knowledge.
