My touring bike (Salsa Marrakesh) that I use for my commute is pulling spokes out of the rear rim. This is a deja vu from my previous hybrid bike, which partly was the reason I was getting rid of it - not holding up to the rigors of daily commuting. I sure thought a purpose built touring bike would have wheels on it that would hold up to my 190 lbs and 20 lbs of luggage. WTF would happen if I went on an actual tour to Marrakesh with 100 lbs of payload!?

Anyway, I need to fix the rear wheel. The rim is a WTB SX-19 36h. It has decent Shimano Deore hubs. I know if I go to the LBS, they will charge an arm and a leg to build a new wheel with existing hub, I don't think it may be cost effective.

So, long story short, is there an online wheel shop where I can buy something suitable to drop in? It would be great if it was a "touring" wheel set, with a high spoke count, a rugged rim and even better, if it had the option to buy a matching front with a dyno hub, as I do expect to tour this bike some day ...
