The best thing is too see if the shop can give you store credit for the wheels and put that down on a custom set of wheels that are more clyde friendly.. Even though most vendors tell you there is no weight limit for there bikes, wheels are a different issue and most stock wheels are made for riders 180lbs or less..

Lots of choices on good rims out there.. Velocity Fusion or Deep V - DT Swiss RR1.1 (w/ eyelets), RR 1.2 or Mavic CXP33's.. Best to go at least 32 hole with these options or go with a 32 front / 36 rear for best durability over the long haul. The RR1.2's are the only rims listed above that only goes to 32 hole, no 36 option..
