I was riding a Metric over the weekend when the first one popped and the 2nd one went today on the way home from work. I am seriously bummed out.

Anyone have advice on what I should be asking for when I bring the wheel back to the shop that built it. They have a good reputation around town and have been pretty good for me so far, but it seems like they should have steered me toward something stronger. Maybe a higher spoke count and some thicker spokes? I am not sure. What would y'all recommend for a big rider who puts about 100 miles a week on a bike?
