Repeated Broken Spokes, Heavy Rider
Hello All,
I have a customer that comes into the shop I work at with broken spokes quite often. He weighs probably 275-300lbs. He got rid of his old bike and bought a new one (not from me), thinking this would solve the problem. But low and behold, he is still breaking a spoke or two every couple weeks. He's riding a Jamis Boss (7 speed freewheel) at the moment, 26" rims. I think the ultimate solution is replacing it with a good heavy duty rim with good spokes. Problem here is, does any manufacture even make GOOD quality freewheel rims? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
