The tires will be a minimum of 26x1.95 in width. Riding is usually the rider and perhaps 25 pounds of locks & cargo, routinely. The question is, will this wheelset be sufficient under this load and usage? I can do most everything else in terms of maintenance, but haven't learned the finer points of truing and tensioning a wheel. I'd like to build some eventually and become proficient at it.
