Hi hengy. Welcome to BT!
I'm not sure what you're asking... is your rear wheel trashed and you need a replacement or, are you looking to rebuild the wheel?
The LX hub laced to a Bontrager BCX-2 rim was a schweet wheel and I would rebuild it if not trashed. Parts are still available for that hub.

YES deore lx is the stuff in shimano hubs my friend and if rob likes then it is good stuff!!!
Good maintenance to your Bike, can make it like the wheels are, true and smooth!
Why do you want a new rim? Sounds like clean the bearings, new balls, new grease, and possibly a truing is in order.

190 lbs is not heavy unless you are 4 feet tall.
Do you look like a beach-ball with little appendages here and there?? LOL
I'm 5'6" and 170 lbs and hard on my equipment. My two fave MTbikes are also from the '90s.
Without more details, we can't answer your question. Why do you think the rim needs replaced? Does it look like a taco shell? Any broken spokes? Braking surface worn thin?
As I said, unless that LX hub is just totally trashed, replacement cones and ball bearings (and even axles) are readily available. If the cups (pressed into the hub shell) are galled, go for a new wheel.
Just a side note - If my memory hasn't failed me, Bontrager BCX rims were manufactured and re-labled by Weinmann. BCX-2 was a double-walled rim equivalent to the venerable ZAC 19 which is still produced today.
