cast wheels
Having ridden on some appalling roads in India and Canada, I did manage to dent the rear wheel in Kazakhstan. Secondhand cast wheels are cheap whereas if you dent a spoked wheel its toast. I crashed a R100RS in France many years ago and was grateful I had changed the wire wheels for cast items. I was able to ride home with a twisted front wheel whereas the spoked wheel would have collapsed.
