I bought some cheap Vuelta disc wheels from my commuter bike expecting them to die in a month or two -- but no, they're really tough. The QR is ****, so throw that away, and for some reason, the axle ends don't bite into my rear dropout, so the wheel can shift, which is a little odd but probably peculiar to my bike. So far, the wheel has been a great value. Standard J-bend spokes and replaceable cartridge bearings, so it is reparable.
I predict that those won't work for Joerg.
