Howdy! I've been hovering for a while here, soaking up the knowledge, tips, and humour

I've been commuting for the past month on a Fuji Absolute 1.4, starting slow and working up to the point where I'm biking 100+ miles a week (which is awesome for me ... I never thought I'd be able to do that!) I'm loving the commute and the bike has been treating me well.

The only major problem I've had with it is that the rear wheels aren't staying true. Performance has been good and has repeatedly trued the wheels for free. However, they told me the rims are getting bent. The stock rims are 32H Vera Corsa's and they are recommending that I upgrade to a stronger set.

The bike is only a bit over a month old ... and I'm a bit disappointed at having to replace the rims so soon. Fully loaded (me + laptop + clothes + liquids), I'm probably clocking in at 275 lbs and the bike path I take has some rather jarring bumps.

What would 'yall recommend I do?:

• Suck it up and get better rims
• Try to get them to replace the wheel for free (since the bike is relatively new)
• Return the bike (since it is under warranty) and get a mountain bike
• Eat more bacon! (Sorry, wife has US of Bacon on in the background)

Thanks for your help!
