Bikes: Several, mostly not name brands.

The weight limits on SL/SLX tubing aren't because the tubes are likely to fail if you exceed them, but rather because the frame may be unacceptably flexible. If you're looking for a more flexible frame, this may work well for you. Are you able to test-ride before buying it?

That said, standard practice was to use SP/SPX in those larger frame sizes, or at least for the down tube and chain stays.
