If you're feeling the upgrade itch and you can't spend more than $200, go for it. The only catch to low spoke count is that if you break a spoke, there's a good chance of you walking home. But like I said, I never had a problem with those wheels, and I know 200 lb guys who didn't either. We're just saying that if your budget is closer to $400, you could knock 2 pounds off.

Congrats on the weight loss. I plan to do the same as soon as my kid can fit in the Burley trailer.
