Caad 5 frame weight restriction
I recently purchase a caad 5 and I have some concerns about being 210 lbs on the bike. The thin tires, light frame etc. I am used to mountain bikes which feel more durable. Should I be concerned?

Bigger guys than you riding road bikes. I'm in at 235lbs last check. As stated keep tires inflated and spokes tight.
|
So no real concerns about the frame? Should be able to withstand the weight? I have been reading about frames and concerns about cracks etc. It is aluminum.

Shoot, you're a lightweight. I wouldn't worry about anything other than your wheels, never heard of any problems involving that frame and your weight.
I started riding road bikes somewhere north of 250 pounds (scale broke) and haven't had a single problem other than loose spokes since the beginning. |
Thanks for the replies, I appreciate the help.
