300 pounds and High End MTB. 6 months review.
Hey there. Im around 300 pounds and on february I bought a Cannondale Flash Carbon 1, used from EBay. Imediatly after buying it i became worried about ti holding my weight. & month later, ive ridden it about 600 miles and no issues at all. The rear wheel isnt even out of true. For all the guys down there building wheels which hold, the Dt Swiss 240s Hub, Plus DT swiss Aerospeed Spokes + Stan`s Arch EX rims works great. Ill report if something breaks but i think its usefull for heavy guys who are foten tempted of buying low end ikes or steel bikes. Racing beasts can handle us too!!!

Very nice bike! I have had great luck with the Arch rims myself and the DT 240 hub is one of the nicest out there. Glad you are getting some good use out of it!
