Where can I get an affordable, strong 36 spoke rear wheel?
I would like to order one. Or if anyone knows of a good shop in Dallas who could build me one without costing an arm and a leg? This is for function over fashion, I just want a stronger wheel for my big ass.

bikeisland has some affordable, bombproof 36h wheels. don't know if they sell f/r separately, but they won't cost you an arm or a leg for the set, and i've had good experiences w/ them.

Go talk to Fran over at Transit Cycles, 214-219-BIKE.
She'll build you up a burly ass wheel.

My suggestion if you're in the Clydesdale weight range is to learn how to build and maintain your own wheels. In the long run, you'll save a ton of cash.

255ish, cycling tends to fix this.. my old road commuter was on 32s and I never had an issue but the streets are a lot shadier where I am now so I was just looking to get something stronger just in case.

They're out of stock of the B43's, but getting more in soon.
I believe they have Deep V's available in a number of colors.
For a strong rear b43, expect to spend $100 for the hoop, $60 for spokes, and anywhere from $50-200 for the hub. You may also need a cog and lockring, so factor that in. Also add in the handbuilding charge.
Spaceballs, are you riding in the monday night mash?
