rebuild the wheel with a new rim of your preference, and overhaul the hub .. Flush & re-oil the driver

get A shimano K , 13-34t Cassette & new [KMC is OK], chain stick with 7 speed, (ratio-range matters more than 'speeds')


no front wheel? so many people Must have their Phone with them 24/7~365 , a dyno hub in front wheel will have 3w,6v of electricity

to use via a converter to USB to trickle charge the phone as you ride ( it is insufficient to run the phone , on at the same time)

Shimano Dynamo-hubs come in low cost pre=built wheels , German Schmidt hubs, a custom build will get that done..



I toured on a 48 rear , 40 front, 88 spoke pair of wheels I built myself , fortunately I never damaged a rim..
(Only 1 spoke in 10 years..)

those who did, now that I live in a place where people come from around the world to see ,

damaged rims with exotic hubs tend to have a low cost common wheel sold , & your fancy one shipped home.

few want to spend a week+ getting a custom rebuild .. rim ordered, etc..

[no shortage of Motel/hotel rooms food and drink if you are on a casual schedule]



IN SHORT : ride what you have , bring Money.. if you get them damaged Buy something else along the way.
