Help buying a new budget rear wheel
RIP TO MY OLD ONE 
what do you guys recommend? I have a Giant Defy 3. I'm not looking for nothing, fancy, just something as good as my stock wheels.
in the $100 and below category

Forte Titans are well liked for a budget wheel. I would get it over the Vuelta or any other paired spoke wheel.

if you can stretch to about $150 you could get a complete set of the mavic aksiums on bonktown. They seem to be coming up there some for $134 plus the shipping costs. But, that would be stretching your budget a bit, so.....

They are not the lightest but love the hubs.They spin and spin effortlessly.I have not tried Forte Titans and users seem to like them.
