From what I've heard the rear wheel is better (stronger) then the front. Beside you get less hurt when the back wheel falls off then if the front wheel falls off while riding....LOL Do you know if your rear drop out was steel or alm.? No offence but even if you were/are happy with the result that is not a conformation that Jimbo won't. I say this because I have read several reports from people that have had problems on the rear drop out. I think the added insurance is worth the expense and efford finding it or making your own. Lets face it making your own isn't brain surgey if you have a few simple tools.
