I have a dozen or so broken spokes. Thinking about replacing the wheel.
It's a MODUS 700x45c rear rim. Can't find an exact replacement, any thoughts on what would work?
Thanks
 
Thanks for the link. I should of said wheel and will correct it, I think it would be easier for me to replace. LOL
I need to run some errands this afternoon so I will stop by the bike shop.
 
I switched to a Velocity 36 spoke rear wheel about a year ago on my converted Bianchi e bike. Never had a problem since. I assume velocity makes the same high quality wheels in a 700c size. Double wall box style. Okay for tubeless but I run it with a tube. Bulletproof so far.
 
Forgot to post, went to the bike shop and they ordered me new stainless steel spokes and nipples. He ordered 38 so 2 extra. Might be in later this week.
The shop is Southwest Cycle in Southwest Harbor, ME. Bob is the owner and was really helpful. Lots of people popping for a quick adjustment, they toss a few bucks in the tip jar. LOL my kinda shop
I did get a truing stand, it's something we need to learn how to do.
Worst case is 60.00 for Bob to respoke the rim.
 
First set we got was short, second set was correct. We were able to lace it up and true the rim in about 2 hours. My wife really liked the truing part and did quite well.
We ordered more and will go ahead and replace the spokes on the other rim. Front rims on both bikes look good so we will wait on those.
