Or maybe i just need to find a tandem and get rid of them both! Anyway this would probably work along with a freewheel right? Weinmann Zac20 Touring Rear Wheel - 26" x 1-3/8, 5/6/7-Speed FW, 36H, Silver So with those and the matching front wheel it would only cost like 75ish bucks plus aluminum rims would make it a little less terrifying in the rain so I guess it would be worth it... Decisions decisions.
That wheel has plated spokes. (UPC)
Look for stainless spokes. It shouldn't be but a "couple/few" $ more.
