Need New Wheels
 
I need to get atleast a new rear wheel for my bike since I messed it up so bad. I have been looking for FR wheels and was planning on buying a Mavic DeeMax for the back. I actually ordered it while it wsa in stock but I now have found out that it was backordered and I can't get it until late January so I am probably going to just cancel the order. What I need to know are what would a good set would be for around 300. A little more or less is fine. I'd prefer a set but at that price I'll take a nice rear wheel as well.

Mavic DeeTrax , DeeMax hubs, different rims than the DeeMax though.

Look, also, into Halo Freedom Disc are Freeride oriented, and then a little beffier yet would be the Tornado, SAS, or Combat (all from Halo).

at PricePoint right now they have Bombshell FatBoy wheelset for $249.98

also a good rear wheel would be the WTB Dual Duty Freeride, not sure of the cost but solid wheels

WTB can't make a good wheel if they tried.

Halo SAS are super beefy

i think it stands for Stink-Ass-Strong, now that's strong

If you have the money go for some Deetraks, I heard they're really good.
