I am looking to get the rear wheel rebuild on the outfit, it keeps breaking spokes so want to get them uprated so they can stand a bit more lateral load. Does anyone know of someone who does this sort of thing for a good price locally, or has anyone got any suggestions for a really strong 18 inch rear wheel that I can make fit.
Your ER5 should have about the same power as a 650 single trail/dual sport bike so you could look for a decent DR650/KLR/XR650 etc. wheel if your current one is a bit too weedy?
Not sure it would be much cheaper than rebuilding what you have with beefy spokes though

Thanks for the ideas, I think its the lateral loads that break the spokes.
