Good point, once I convinced the bike store manager that it was okay to say I was fat and recommend products for fat people I quit having to go have my wheel trued every 50 miles (or every time I hit a bump). You might have to train your bike store and bike mechanic in how to recommend items for you as they may feel they would hurt your feelings and lose your business if they recommend an item for someone our size.
