Danged lawyers indeed.
I bought the Tax-X smart trainer as I had been on a Tac-X trainer when I did my bike fit and knew it would hold up. Before that I bought my BKool Pro trainer as it didn't have a lawyer limit and it had a lifetime guarantee. I bought my bike (Orbea Orca) as it was a super stiff frame and again no lawyer limits.
Once the bike shop and I got on the same page that I am not the typical size of the common cyclist, and they started only selling me Clydesdale appropriate items we were able to make my riding more enjoyable (I wasn't having to have my rear wheel rebuild after every 50 miles, and we changed a stem to make me sit more upright so I could breathe while riding) then we started forming a friendship.... in fact they are helping me sell my Burley Encore trailer that I don't use anymore.
