I have a problem with my rear wheels getting bent. I'm a heavier guy, and my city has the worst streets in the country (-40C winters, short summers, heavy traffic, low funding for repairs)

I finally built up a rear wheel with a 36 spoke, Triple-wall rim (Alex DV30) It's pretty heavy, but I've been riding for 3 months without it going out of true.

BTW, my front is a much lighter DA22, 36 spoke.

If you aren't concerned about weight, maybe a solid rim with high spoke count would help you. Consider tandem wheels, possibly!
