When I really think about it, I bet most non-competitive riders have limiting factors that come into play well before the weight of their wheels.

Off topic…but I don't get that one either. Beginning my "journey" at well over 265lbs, I refused to even think of getting a modern road bike until I could drop weight. I began riding a SL2 Roubaix in 2012 at 200lbs. I bought my Tarmac at 170lbs last winter.
I have dousing who is a large fella…6' 3", 250+. He keeps wanting to get on my bike for a test ride and I won't let him, he gets all offended. I don't have the heart to tell him he's WAY too large for my equipment.
