After swapping my frame for a quality one after my last one broke i am now in need of a new rim.
Since the hub and casette has also been abused i think the smartest option would be to get a whole new wheel.
My old frame was made for 29" wheels. Since i kept the fork my front wheel is still 29" x 2,25. My rear tire on the other hand is a 28" x 1,85 because i couldn't fit anything wider. If I go down to 27,5" i can fit 27,5" x 2,4 / 2,6 tires.

Locally people want around 100 for a city bike wheel which has a freewheel and 150€ for a freehub.
I have no issues ordering from aliexpress or other sites to austria/germany.
 
I live in Ireland (Euro Zone) and have bought from the two European suppliers below without problems.


I decided to buy a set from ztto for 140€ all in. 29" front trough axle 27,5" rear quick release. You can chat with them to get the exact combination you need. Delivery to eu is around 50 days because they go by train and I didn't wanna pay 25€ extra to express ship them in 10 days.

We will see how it goes and how well they hold up to the tsdz8 and the nasty potholes around here.
