Help! Spoke Question needed answering?

[Signal11th]

Basically the spokes are being pulled from the rim of the rear wheel? What would cause this? My rear wheel is almost destroyed now?

Also anyone got a 26 rear wheel with a 8 speed cassette on the back they want to sell in the West Mids area?

Too much spoke tension on a non-eyeleted rim?

Non-eyeleted rim?? Its a mavic from a 95 indian firetrail, so it's an old wheel but any recommendations for a decent cheapy rear wheel just on a commuter?

Does it have cracks radiating from the hole like this? >

yeah the wheel is nailed, 6 spokes have been pulled form the rim, rim is nailed, I'm after a decent wheel that I can use as a commuter, I'm a large lad 17 stone so anything.

I was looking at M PartShimano M475 Hub on Mavic XM317 as a replacement or if anyone in the west mids has somethign for sale?

Why not buy something cheap from chain reaction or similar?

Thats what I mentioned in the previous post I was just after some recommendations for a decent cheapy commuter rear wheel.

I don;t want to particulary spend 150 quid on a wheel when a recommended 60 quid one would have sufficed.

If its only on a commuter I'd say any cheap wheel will cope perfectly well with your weight
