Now that I have the right equipment for my size I can ride forever.
Thank you for the new from another "big guy" Though you got alot more muscle than me. Popping spokes was a problem for me too, I now have a pair of Cosmos and over the last 500 miles have not had a problem.
I will keep going, and hope that those little twigs will be trying to suck my wheel someday!!
