The flaming surly & I had a little crash yesterday - I currently need new knee & elbow skin and it needs a new rear rim (I dented it inwards somehow)
It's a commuter bike, I don't need anything too fancy and apparently I try to take a few too many bumps at high speed on the thing 'cause it feels like a tank. The surly frame might be a tank, but apparently its wheels aren't.
The hub that's on the bike is for 28 spokes, so if anyone happens to have a burly 28 spoke rim, I could build that up.
Otherwise I'm just looking for a high spoke count rear wheel that'll take an 8 speed cassette (so I guess 135 mm spacing)... So I don't really care how heavy.
REI's got this 36 spoke count wheel for $40, so I'm guessing that's probably around the price range I'm looking at - but am willing to pay more for something sexier.
