I've been braking a lot of spokes lately on the stock alex at400 rear rim that came on the used 2004 specialized allez I bought a couple of years ago.
The people at the LBS seem to be discouraging me from just having the wheel rebuilt.
I just bike for fitness so my main concern is reliability. I weigh about 185 lbs.
What would be a good rear wheel to pickup? I assume the front wheel will have greater life but should I go ahead and replace it along with the rear? Would I be likely to notice any ride improvement from a nice new wheel in front?
