Hi,
I have a 2007 vintage Marin Rocky Ridge and the rear wheel is pretty much worn out.
Looking for recommendations for a replacement. I need something fairly tough and was think Hope Pro 2 hub with a Stan's Flow rim.
I am not planning to ride tubeless immediately - will this be an issue and what type of valve will I need to use?
Any recommendations as to where to buy the wheel - I am in Cheltenham.
Any other suggestions for rear wheels up to £200 welcome.

Not at all, they run tubes quite easily, and despite the naysayers, it's still worth having the Stans rim even with tubes, because the bead seating results in a rounder tyre.
As for where to buy, I'm afraid I'd just suggest the usual suspects: merlin, CRC, STW classifieds etc.
