Replacement rear wheel needed for 7.2fx, I think.
Hello,
I have had my 7.2fx as a daily commuter for about 2 years. I have probably put about 5,000mi on it so far. I had 4 spokes break on my rear wheel and my LBS said that if I got one more broken spoke that it would be time to replace the wheel. Recently another spoke has become loose. I have also gotten a clicking sound that I only get when I have weight on the bike and the wheels are spinning. With the bike tipped over and no weight on the wheels, there is no clicking sound.
I am assuming that the sound is related to the loose spoke. So it looks like I need a new rear wheel. I am a larger guy, 6'5" ~240lbs and I often carry groceries on my bike so the weight probably gets to ~270+ lbs sometimes.
What rear wheel should I look for for high durability? This is my commuter, so I want to make sure it is reliable. I don't care about weight.
The 7.2fx comes with Bontrager AT-750 rims, so I would like something more durable than these.
Thanks
