Might anyone be able to recommend a rear wheel?

One of my [favorite] bikes is a 2020 Salsa vaya. Sort of an odd ball since it takes a 135QR rear and a through axle front due to the updated waxwing carbon fork they added. Love the bike but hate wheel shopping for it.

Fortunately I’ve got a nice 700c gravel set from Hunt, and I highly recommend them to anyone with and odd setup like mine.

I’m looking to do a fun 650b set with 2.1” tires for the more chunky gravel trails. But as it’s not my primary set, looking to keep it cheap and durable. Weight is of no concern.

main things I need are 135QR, cartridge bearings, 10 speed, disc.

if anyone can recommend a durable wheel within these parameters I’d be thankful.

I need a very good reason to choose other than DT 350 hubs in scenarios like yours.

RaceFace ARC 25 offset rim would be a good match to that size tire and those conditions.

Spoke gauge and count commensurate with your weight and riding style.

Rumor is Miksee has them, as wellas spokes, nipples, and other wheel items.

For cheap wheel I will try them, and don’t forget to use the code in the coupons section. Year long 25% off for total original price >$499. I have speed tunes super 6 2.0 laced with Sun Ringle Duroc 35/30 29er. Wheel is true, tension is even, and the drive side hits 120kgf. Spoke tension is properly released so no need to retrue/tension after the first few rides.
