I think I got lucky. The bike shop in Corvallis from whom I bought my Fargo (Peak Sports) had a built up 29er wheel that had been hanging up for a long time, and I got it for a hundred dollars. A Shimano generater hub. I had to buy the disk for it, but only because I also wanted to keep the original disk wheel in case I feel like riding around without the dyno hub. In 3 years and over 4,000 miles that hasn't happened. I've never even had a tire on the stock wheel, so I can't compare weights. But the original wheel sure looks pretty hanging from a rafter in my shop.
