Hey All,

so maybe you saw that last week on only my 3rd MTB ride in the last few months I trashed my rear wheel after I caught a stick in my spokes.

Figured before I buy something off FB or ebay I ask around here since 27.5" is dead šŸ˜ , you might have something hanging around your garage or shop that you don't need. I'm on a budget here and my MTB isn't my main jam but I do enjoy the occasional ride - mostly with you folks! I am not too concerned about matching it up with another OEM wheel just something functional.

This is the link to my bike specs for reference (my bike is the raw aluminum color)

The only confusing part for me given I have less MTB technical knowledge is the current cassette is a CS-M8000 which is a Shimano cassette on my SRAM drivetrain. ? I bought the bike used off here a few years ago and this is the first time I have even paid attention to the components at this level since lucky for me I haven't had any real issues with it.

Thanks for your help/feedback on this.

Would you be interested in replacing just the rim? How many holes? Are those Duroc 50 rims ?

Thanks leo

Iā€™m not sure itā€™s worth the time and expense of relacing the wheel and replacing at least 2 spokes. Iā€™d have to pay someone to do that for me.

The stock specs show itā€™s a Duroc 45.

ha yeah i realized that after I took the pic too.

The funny thing is i haven't had any shifting issues with this bike even after I crashed back in Oct, bent the rear der and had it straightened out. Been riding it like this for who knows how long but then again I dont MTB all that often so it gets the least priority over my road and gravel bike.
 
still searching for wheel/wheels for this -

i have something I am trying to go see/buy but flaky seller keeps disappearing and reappearing with random availability. what he has would be a perfect match tho so still trying but even something interim would be good to try and get back on the bike.
 
I have a 27.5 giant am rear wheel collecting dust. Couple scratches. The hub is a generic cup and cone loose ball style hub that is setup QR 141. I know there are end caps available for some hubs, but not sure if there is a way to convert these hubs to TA 148. If you think you can make work, wheel is yours.

Thanks man!

Now I need some help from the collective technical knowledge peeps here if itā€™s possible to retrofit this for my bike. !

Why not swap over the hubs if the spoke count matches. Could get it done on a rainy day. Now waiting for excuses...

I got zero tools or skills for that.

Itā€™s looking more like I might have to take @teabagger11 up on his original offer tho since he has some hoops that might be a better OEM match. Iā€™ll have to make a decision soon but first will procrastinate more.
