Ok, I'll make this short.
<first, thanks for reading.>
I have a specialized 700cc hybrid. Love the geometry. A typical ride is 30-40 miles. 80% greenway/side road, 20% gravel/offroad. 0% true mountain biking gymnastics. I carry a back and front load for cargo... maybe total is 15-20 pounds. I'm 210-220 and please don't call me a clydesdale.
So, my problem is my back wheel, I think. I won't share gore, but pretty confident that's my rub - literally.
Went to a bike store in SC and they told me about a Wheelmaster,
[SIZE= medium]Mach1 510 Hybrid/Comfort Rear Wheel - 700c, 8/9-Speed, 36H, Silver[/SIZE]
specifically.
I am fine to buy this but this wouldn't be my first real wheel replacement.
So, I googled Wheelmaster and can't find their official home site. They're an importer??
Regardless, I want a STRONG REAR WHEEL. I want to be able to go up my NC hills with no problem even if I'm toting a watermelon in the front and back.
Would you recommend wheelmaster? I don't care cost, I want a great rear wheel. Ok, maybe I care a little. My new rear wheel should be .5x the cost of a replacement 26" bike which formerly I had no problems witih.
Thank you, experts.
Desperate,
Tim
