Wheels seem to be the biggest issue for most of the folks here. Factory wheels, often with lower spoke counts, don't seem to hold up for the 100kg/220lb + riders.
I found that some standard/cheapo brake pads were not 'confidence' inspiring when going downhill - big guys take a lot more stopping!
Um, the link to Sheldon's site that you've provide would suggest that most average clydes would want 120psi or more in their 23-25mm tires.
Personally, at 115kg, I'm running 120 as well, in 25mm tires.
