    I made a separate thread in the F&E forum but I really need some urgent help.

    In short, I've broken 3 spokes in as many weeks just from street riding. My LBS said I def need a new 'stronger' rim so I am shopping on Amazon but have zero experience with the intricacies of buying a new wheel so I'll list what is currently on there.

    Diamondback SL7 Aluminum Alloy
    Double Wall
    700c x 28/38C
    ETRTO 662 x 20

    Disc brakes and an 8 speed cassette.

    The bike is a Diamondback Overdrive Sport so I don't want to go too expensive (I only paid $500 for the bike). I am not too concerned with the wheel's weight as long as it's somewhat economical and durable.

    I really appreciate any help you guys can give.

    6/1 - 0 miles.
    6/2 - 5.1 miles at 10.2mph listening to a variety of artists on my Walkman with external speakers (no earbuds or headphones).
    6/3 - 4.9 miles at 10.4mph listening to Supertramp and Tegan & Sara.
    6/4 - 4.0 miles at 10.4mph listening to Trombone Shorty and Taco. :)
    6/5 - 3.1 miles at 9.7mph listening to Jack White.
    6/6 - 3.0 miles at 9.9mph in 95 degrees just before storm hit.
    6/7 - 3.6 miles at 10.3mph listening to Lake Street Dive.
    6/8 - 4.0 miles at 10.4mph listening to Jim James. My Walkman died so I'm using my backup Walkman, which also has external speakers. The Walkmans with external speakers are hard to find (they were probably discontinued because they don't handle sweat well) but I'm now on the prowl for another one.


    MTD = 27.7 miles.
