My wife and I have Chinese hybrid bikes. Last year her rear wheel popped four adjoining spokes. On close inspection I could see that they had rust pitting and popped at the stress concentration point. I took it to a bike shop and they declared that she needed a whole new wheel assembly. After 3 weeks and about $100, she got back the bike with a black wheel with no spoke guard and no quick release, even though the old wheel was silver, with a spoke guard and quick release. I was not amused.
So today I took down the bikes from the barn and now my bike has popped 5 spokes - same deal.
So my long winded question is how to I determine which rear wheel to order on line to fix this myself. The tire size is 26 x 1.95, it has a quick release axle and a disc brake and is double wall alloy. What other parameters do I need to match?
Thanks.
