Also how big of tires will that bike run ??
Kind of hemming and hawing around right now about 25's vs 28's......the bike I have will take 28's....the Bike I'd like to trade it in on this October takes 28's...the 28's should get the nod probably I guess.

Technically, I should be banned from this forum.....10 pounds short of the entry requirements.
I ride 20F/28R wheels having bought them at around 240 Lbs or maybe more, I lied when I ordered them so whatever the weight limit is, I was over it. I ride them on some rough roads routinely including dirt, gravel, and your basic rought farm roads and at night on 600K Brevets on some truly awful roads where hitting potholes is unavoidable. I would say Rt 30 in Vermont is one big pothole and at 3 am, confidence in one's wheels is paramount. Flo 30 are what I mostly ride although I have standard Dura Ace 32F wheels that I should be training on. I also have Zipp 404 20/24 with G3 rear hub and Dura Ace C50 clinchers. The Flo wheels are my go to wheels because they are pretty fast, durable, and sufficiently stable in cross winds and I am just confident in them never having had to turn a spoke on them.
