No - Ebay - They were take offs from a Upgrade. Good thought though !

They have a membership/hourly DIY repair shop section there.
I have been there but have found that depending on who is at the Reigns that day, sometimes there is more knowledge / quality help available some days than others. Not sure if I want to "Feel Lucky" with this particular fix since I know how little about it I really know. ( I think I know just enough to be dangerous )
Sixty Fiver Says - You are a big enough rider that you rate a better quality rear wheel - the peace of mind you will get from having wheels that you know won't fail (under normal circumstances) is worth it.
Thanks - Yes - Kind of my thought in asking about a 36 Spoke wheel --
Does anyone have a suggestion of a Brand or Source for a 36 Spoke wheel that I could do a little shopping for in case I do decide to go that way ? As I begin to ask questions here locally it would be nice to know the Cost Difference between Re-doing and Replacing when I make my decision. It is nice to know that I "SHOULDN'T" have a problem if I get them set up correctly with the right parts.
I have 8 Cog gear pack and I believe I need 135mm Hub width.
Thanks very Much all Again -- What a Great Forum !
