What Wheel?

as some of you guys here know, my rear rim should be replaced. so i am looking for a good wheelset thats about 400 bucks (us currency) thats got rim stronger than the sun singletrack rim. i would preferrably want a complete wheelset with both a front wheel with a 20mm thru-axle and rear wheel with qr. i want the front wheel with a 20mm thru-axle because i plan to get a pike this summer and pikes have that maxle 20mm thru-axle. thanks in advance.

Instead of going to a ready made set of wheels with an inhouse name- Look at a wheel builder and see what they can come up with. I'm in the UK so can't give you any wheel builder names but if looking for a strong wheel, look at this site in the UK

https://www.merlincycles.co.uk/acatalog/Wheels.html

Want a strong wheel? I have Hope Bigun Hubs on Mavic Downhill rims- Can't give the mavic no of the rim but These wheels are indestructable.

PM me. I've got an older set of wheels that I may consider parting out.

I've got a set of Profile Racing (www.profileracing.com) hubs laced to some Mavic D321 rims. They're older, but in great shape. The front hub is a 20mm thru axle and the rear is a 9 speed with a titanium freehub body.
