I am a large, 6' 1" - 230 lbs., rider and it is time for some new wheels. I am not a racer, but put
in a lot of miles. I have averaged 3,000 miles per year for the last five years. My problem is that
I break spokes. A few years ago I switched to Spinergy SPOX wheels, and they worked for a while. Now
I am starting to break the nipples on the SPOX wheels. I am not looking for the lightest, most aero,
wheels, but rather something that will not easily break spokes. I don't mind doing maintenance
before/after rides, but don't want to have to mess with the wheels during the ride.
I am looking for advice on new wheels. Should like be looking for a pre-built set, or go to my LBS,
and have them build me a set. Any suggestions would be great.
