Hey gents, I've never replaced a wheel before and my 4-yr old WTB "All Mountain" (lol) SpeedDisc rear wheel that came on my budget Forge Sawback seems to be going out.
A noticed a broken spoke about a month ago when I was going to true the wheels, so I had it replaced with the tune-up which included truing the wheels. I've went on about four shorter rides during the few sunny days that have graced my local since the tune.
During the last ride I thought heard a pinging noise. I recall checking the wheels and didn't notice a broken spoke. Well, after the ride today I have not one, but two broken spokes! Similar/close hub location, one on each side of wheel (disc and drive sides).
After some reading, am I right to assume this cheap old wheel is giving up?
If so, what's a good budget wheel to replace it with?
I've looked around and it seems most are sold as sets? I only need a rear!
