I use my Giant Cypress ST for utilitarian purposes, when I do haul something it is usually a leaf blower and a gallon of gas, really quaint when compared with what everyone here carries.

My rear wheel, is out of true and has been losing tension, for the moment it still works well, but I am considering purchasing a new wheel set as either backup or to replace immediately, I'm interested in aluminium for whatever reason.

My concern is the weight that would be on top of the wheel, I'm not exacly light at 210lbs, the bike manual refers that maximum load would be 250lbs for rider and cargo, so I would need a sturdy wheel that would handle my weight as well as any cargo I may have, and of course, need not to be heavy.

Any sugestions?

Edit: Budget, probably should mention that huh, would like to stay under $300, I realize that this is as much as the bike costs, but why buy another one?
