I think 20 is too few for your weight. 28 rear is probably OK if you aren't hitting potholes etc. AND the wheel is properly built.
I ride paved trail that's pretty uniformly smooth. I need to drop some weight anyhow, hopefully these wheels will hold up until I can upgrade the whole bike. Thanks for your insight, I thought they may be a little low on the spoke count for my size but I hadn't ridden in over 10 years and technology changed so much so I just let him do his thing in suggesting a bike for me. Next time I will have a lot more input.
