What 27.5plus rear wheel/rim?

[Russell]

My slx hub bearings have gone and will need replacing soon. What's a good rim around 40mm and hub with cartridge bearings? I would prefer getting a ready built wheel if possible.

 

[Russell]

Anyone?

Do you like them silent? Why is your not lasting? So many places sell them, Jenson, chain reaction, your LBS.....

I'm not bothered about noise. I just want a strong rim around 40mm and a hub preferably with a steel free hub body if that's what it's called ( the bit the cassette goes on). Also I want cartridge bearings so I can replace them easily. I know where to get bits I just need advice on what make of parts.

On websites(like i mentioned) you can read reviews from people who bought different wheels what they think, like, dislike often a rating 1-5 stars. I have the originals 40 on my bike, cant complain with 3,300 kms they fit well with 2.8 and 3.0

Dt swiss wheels have served me well over the years. They have a hybrid range for ebikes, if I were building a wheel set I would probably use there 350 hubs and 35mm rims which are plenty big enough for plus size tyres.

chain reaction have some sun tingle duroc 40s reduced from over 500 to 145 now I think. haven't used them but the reviews seemed good.

cheers I'll give them a go. With the extra sale discount at the top of the page they were £135.
