Alright, i hope this is the right section,
i have a Haro Flightline Two DX Mountain bike, she's beautiful bought her some downhill forks for like 400$ and some other fancy upgrades, she is a hard tail, well the rims did not get an upgrade yet, here are the specs for them
Wheels
Hubs Pivit Disc
Rims Weinmann ZAC, 32-hole
Tires 26 x 2.10" Kenda Klaw
Spoke Brand Stainless, 14ga. (2.0mm)
Well, The issue i am having is that before i even got a chance too strap my engine on or Any of my kit, i was riding her around a little checking her out,
i was riding at about 5-8 mph tops, when a car pulled up into the crosswalk in front of me, those F**Kers! nothing new though, people are A** hats some times,
So i dropped off the curb rather than waiting for them to GTFO of my way lol,
i did not bunny hop or wheeler off of it or anything crazy like that simply dropped off,
Well when i got the rear tire off the curb, as soon as it touched ground it Felt like i suddenly had rear suspension!, so i looked back and my rim was folded in half...
shocked! completely Shocked, these rims and the whole bike are brand new, yes it is a 09'' model, but the man i bought it from off Craigslist was a rich guy, he bought it for a 4 day camping trip for 550 new, bought 250$ worth of upgrades,
He Rode it 10 miles then stuck it in his air conditioned garage until two days ago lol, so these rims are in tip top and Yes, i checked for wear and tare and if they were true,
it was in perfect condition, i am just shocked by this!, i mean back in the 1930's people were riding around bikes with out any suspension or any fancy Expensive parts,
jumping ramps and hitting 10 feet of air then slamming down on the ground with excessive Force too both rims, yet i was doing 5-8 mph and lightly dropped a curb,
i am 170 -180 pounds and 5'11 nothing too big and this is a VERY sturdy ''bike'' as for the rims, Well you know...
ANYWAY what i am looking for here is some help finding a Rear 26'' wheel, hoping for a pre built one with everything already there, has too have 6'' disc rotors on it,
My budget will allow me a maximum of 80$ USD i Can re-spoke- and all that good junk if the price is right!
seeing as though these wheels were going too be taking on the force of an engine, i think im gonna need something decent too keep me from being too scared to ride my bike now lol.
