I've been meaning to start a thread about rider weight and wheels.
I was 235 and on down to 220, and I ride RS 10's.
They are 20 R and 16 F spoke count and I have about 2500 miles on them and they are straight as a pin.
I ride all flats, but get out of the saddle and crank on them. Fine wheels and I'm happy with them for stock.
I think rider spec weights are set low for liability or whatever corporate policies are at work.
Good job on coming back and keep at it.
