I bought a Schwinn S-15 3 years ago (http://www.amazon.com/Schwinn-S-15-Mens-Dual-Suspension-Mountain/dp/B0007ZF5K8), and over time the back rim has become so bent that I can't adjust the back brakes to begin stopping without rubbing during a normal rotation. Today I had my second spoke break off, and the spokes do not look replaceable (read: cheaply welded onto the hub).

So I've resigned to replacing it. Can I just buy any old 26" rim to replace it, or does it have to be one specially for the back gears? I mean, can I walk into any bike shop (I got this one at Target) and ask for a 26" Rim and it'll work, or does it have to be specialized?
