Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

I guess there's something to be said for running old school 32 spoke late 80's Araya stock 27" rims! Cpl thousand miles and not a mm out of true with my lard riding the bike over various road conditions.
By the way, on the old MTB/commuter, I'm running Alex 6606T6 wheels and they have held up well also! This bike has been to Hades and back......single tracking when I was weighing in at over 400 pounds! Still true and no popped spokes! This included riding with a full touring load, as well of 37 pounds of gear on the bike this spring (Not single track, but road!).
