weinnman tm19
It's suitable for rim brakes, even has the 'safety line' feature so it tells you when it's fucked without exploding. There's no problem using a disc hub in a rim-braked wheel.

So, I bought a cheap 26" rear wheel on eBay. It's a weinnman tm19 rim (which the internet seems reasonably sure isn't disc break specific so hopefully has a brake track?) and whilst there was no mention of braking system in the ad the pictures clearly didn't have a disc hub. The wheel that turned up has a disc hub. Two questions I guess, can anyone confirm that the tm19 rim has a brake track and if so, can I use a disc-built wheel with rim brakes? I assume it is dished slightly differently and has a disc specific hub but don't see why this would be a problem. If possible would prefer not to faff returning it but obviously can do if best. Cheers.
