I'm not sure where Flo fall on the upper weight limit, but they only offer 2 builds compared to Boyd's three, and they say to pick the clyde build even if your not heavy but just strong. Not confidence inspiring for those of us north of 200lbs!
I'm 220lbs and was told the Clyde build in the Flo's were spec'd to just over 240lbs. I ride on crappy Shimano 500's at 20/24 spoke count never had any problems.
