If your labor is worth zero, you can rebuild the wheel yourself. That would save you money.
What is OLD? My DT (I thought) has 406mm rims. My current tire is a Marathon 406x1.5. The Swift I think is made for an 8 speed cassette but I would think a 9-speed fits?
The swift site says:
Features:
* 406mm aluminum box-section rim, 36H, with spoke eyelets and machined sidewalls.
* 2mm stainless steel spokes.
* Quando CNC machined hubs with sealed bearings
* 132mm axle space
Unfortunately my free time is virtually Nil, so spending $50-100 is fine with me for a new wheel; I can re-mount the tire myself and hopefully can swap over the cassette; otherwise I'm sure the LBS will do it for a few bucks.
