wheel specs for all around bike - Page 2

Sorry, I meant 120 kg with rider (70 kg rider, 20 kg infant, 30 kg of stuff). Bike itself would be another 11 kg. So, more like 131kg of total weight.

Also, what's your recommendation for tandems?

Thanks

Still 290 pounds or so. , the rims and holes I mentioned. Tandem, a 48 hole rear, 40 hole front, Dyads are good Tandem rims, also Deep V. I'm pretty conservative in wheel design, remembering 4 spokes weigh 28 grams but 8 more spokes make for a stronger rim. Most tandems are around the 325 pound range. Having said that, a 48h rear on a loaded tourer at 288 pounds would work also.

Good info. Thanks.
