My point wasn't your power to weight ratio but your weight in relation to the dead weight on the bike. The more dead weight on the bike the more impact the rims get hitting rocks and potholes as opposed to a bigger rider with less dead weight on the bike who can unweight the rear wheel in crappy conditions. I just don't see the upside to 28mm tires with a 66lb of dead weight.
