During covid I had to buy cheap "Force basic" rear #bike wheel, as no other option was in stock or ready quickly enough. What a mistake. That was a really shitty wheel. The spike wires were constantly breaking one by one and I kept replacing them. Now 3 more wires broke at the same time and that pushed me to finally buy a proper new wheel. Finally. I am a bit affraid that the new wheel has only 24 spikes, old one used to have 32. I hope it can carry me...
The detail photo of a rear bike wheel's free hub. There are 3 already replaced wires marked by blue arrow and distinguishable by wire head different from others, and there are 2 more wires marked by red arrows that are missing the head completely and needs replacement.
New wheel already mounted on the bike

BTW I tested the new wheel on a 98Km long round trip from Prague to Mělník and after that ride I realized, that i have mounted the cassette wrongly. The hub supports both 11 and 10 gear cassettes, but for a 10 gears cassette I suppsed to add an adapter ring. Luckilly I didn't throw away the package box and found the adapter. Also luckilly I didn't break the hub by using it without the adapter...
