Am I in need of a new wheelset for my weight and strength? If so, with the disc braking system I currently have, which wheelset would be a good fit for my scenario? Thanks for the help!
You may want to just rebuild the wheel(s) you have with new spokes.
Assuming the rims are still true and the spoke holes aren't destroyed, getting new spokes and the entire wheel properly built and tensioned by a pro, will probably solve your problem permanently for $100ish, and may even be done by the LBS under warranty. But you need a
good wheel builder, not just any LBS mechanic.
