Can someone recommend a good quality rear wheel?

[Rusty_Nail]

The rear wheel on my bike has a high spot along where the caliper brakes grab the rim. If there's no way to smooth the high spot out, can someone recommend a good but not super expensive rim that has a 1.5" diameter hub? I have a hub mounted sprocket so I want to be able to use a hub mounted sprocket setup on the new wheel.

Quality Rear M/B wheel

26" Gemini rear wheel ( also for Phatmoto Rover)

The Gemini rear wheel is a solid, dependable option for those riders looking to upgrade their main drive unit. Comes with the Gemini "Wikid" rear hub, laced into a Gemini double wall alloy rim using 11g spokes, 12mm bolt style thru axle, sealed bearings, a 7mm wide disc rotor spacer and bolts...

You can actually have any rim that you like laced onto your current hub; (as long as they have the same number of spokes).

If you do choose to have a rim laced get a double walled rim. My personal spoke preference is Saphim. DT and Wheelsmith spokes are good also.

OK. I also found one on amazon if I end up deciding to buy a whole new wheel. The current one's been abused for about the last 4 years lol. The one on amazon is about $76 with shipping. The brand is Flying Horse, which is the same one that's been on my bike. I'd like to get a better one but I'm on a super tight budget so for the time being do you guys think the one I posted below would do until I could afford a better rim?

This is the one I was looking at:

Man just build it yourself. Get a rim you like, measure it up, put in spoke calculator, order 12 or 11g spokes off aliexpress, gonna be around $25. And build it up. I would never spend $200 on a spoke wheel… maybe a nice moped mag rim but even those are cheaper, and take 17” moto tires.

I'd stay away from the coaster brake ones. You'd also need to replace the stock axle with a cro-molly axle. Just so you'll know a 14 gage Saphim spoke is stronger than a 10 gage department store spoke.

Jerry, if your not into relacing rims just get on craigslist and find one. I bet you can get one for 20 bucks.
