I know very little about these things, and I have need of a new rear wheel for my All Mountain bike. I'm a little wary of buying used wheels for something that needs to take a decent amount of abuse, so I'm wondering if I can just buy a new rim and lace up the wheel myself, but I have some questions:
1) Can I just replace the rim and lace it with the existing spokes and hub?
2) Is it worth it to buy rim, hub, and spokes and build the wheel myself or just buy a pre-built one?
3) If I get said parts, is there anyone in CORP who is a good wheel builder?
Thanks in advance!
