6'0, 221 here, and I'm on a 99' Stumpjumper a lot of the time, due to the fact that spokes continually go on my 00' Trek 1000, (Aluminum frame, blue Airliner wheels). Then I blow tubes because i don't propery tape off the Spoke stems after replacement.
Been riding for four years now, logging rides of 30-50 miles, and also like to push hard. Besides the set-up being rather entry level, any ideas on why spoke problems would continue in both the front and rear wheels?
If my problem is the wheel itself, any ideas for a good clydesdale wheel that won't break spokes (dangerous) or the bank (just as dangerous, wife kill me)?
