at least you're back on the road
I'm 6'5" and 235 lbs - kept breaking spokes and finally got a tandem rim put on my back wheel. Haven't had a broken spoke since. We've got terrible potholes and rough pavement around here and that, combined with my size, meant that a conventiional wheel simply wasn't strong enough.
