How much do you weigh?rosborn said:Anyone have any idea what the weight capacity of this wheelset is (i.e. the maximum weight of rider they are able to support)?
IMO any factory "weight-limit" is just going to be an arbitrary figure, based on some notion of "average" road conditions and terrain, what kind of riding you do, how hard you ride, your annual mileage, as well as what "acceptable life" for a wheel is.rosborn said:240 pounds.
rosborn said:Spoke with my LBS this evening and my guy suggested a Mavic Aksium wheelset. Funny thing is, I used to own a 2005 Specialized Tarmac which had Alex ALX 330 wheels on it with 16 spokes in the front and 20 in the rear which is exactly the same spoke count that the Ultegras have. I weighed a lot more then and never had a problem with the wheels.
