Well, the wheel I bought on the coast during the summer was starting to get more wiggy so I finally took it to a shop to true it up. I normally fix my own wheels but the nipples broke easily and I was tired of it. The woman at the shop on Belmont fixed it, said it wasn't the easiest job she's done.
I decided to order a super back wheel from them. I wanted disc brakes, but she pointed out that I don't have a place to put the calipers, so no disc brakes for me. But, I'm getting a 48 spoke tandem wheel. There were a few options for hubs, the Shimano (which I got) is around $100, and the Phil Woods was $250 (which I didn't get.)

That's a steal! The shimano 9-speeds
are all $359 on their web page.
