I avoid potholes, don't take it off road and don't jump curbs. What can I do besides not giving them any more of my money to fix it for me and ranting about it on bikeforums?
Most of us are too big for this sport. Andy Schleck is 6'1" and 150# (soaking wet). Cyclists built like that at 6'4" might weigh 160#. You (and me) are a little over that.
