front+rear panniers+bob trailer. max total weight of bike+gear loaded with 20 liters water was 175 pounds, plus 185 pounds of beefcake motor.
total maximum weight on the wheels was probably close to 400 pounds, but of course usually less than that, more likely closer to 350.
wheelset was 48-spoke 4x phil hubs, 7spd freewheel, sun cr18 700c rims. rear rim failed halfway through, replaced with a sun rhynolite.
18-month tour of nz/oz, around 20k km.
