Morning,
I found out last night while giving my bike a quick clean and lube that my rear wheel is buckled, badly at that. It's buckled before and it was trued not all that long ago, so I reckon it's time to replace it. I was eventually going to start upgrading bits and bobs on my bike, but it seems the time has come - but I have no clue on wheels.
Should I go for hand builts or machine builts? I currently have 26 inch wheels (not 700c) with Marathon + tyres (26x1.75). I'm not sure on a budget at the moment but I'm not able to afford top of the range gear. The hubs could probably do with replacing too, as they're cheapo hubs.
Cheers.
