Are you riding old school aluminum rims? These never were any good. If the answer is yes, then switch to steel rims (for rear) or upgrade to new and strong alloy rims.
Heavy rider + old school aluminum rims + bad roads = trouble.
ahh... no.
Steel rims are god awful, and only come on the cheapest of bikes. They dont stop well either.
What you want are some double wall rims. laced together by someone competent.
