I'm 280 lbs, need road bike back wheel selection advice.
Hello friends,
I posted a few months ago after I bought my Bianchi via Nirone road bike in anticipation of wheel troubles that I would have. I'm 280 lbs. and a tall bastard too. After logging over a 1000 miles on it, I've had relatively few problems. Recently though, I've broken 2 spokes in the last 2 weeks. And this is after putting on a different back wheel. Right now I have a Mavic Open Sport 36 spoke wheel. I'm not sure on spoke gauge but they seem relatively thin which may be a big part of the problem. In short, what wheel should I put on and where can I find it as far as online sites? I'm getting a little tired of dealing with the LBS in this matter because they've been less than helpful. Thanks!
