With 28 and 32 spokes? That's crazy.

the wheels are so crappy that they can't hold anyone remotely heavy in weight? that's all i can think of....i would obliterate those at 250 lbs if that's the real weight limit

Perchance that recommendation is unrelated to the strength of the wheel; they are simply making a recommendation based on years of observation that if you are to be competitive you must weigh < 155lbs. Damn, I was 156 this morning. :rolleyes:

What would you like to know. These wheels are "No fatties".

heh - hopefully a typo. Then again that's about what I'd expect from some wheels named "Arriva".

I just got a pair of these last week. There's no weight limit listed, but it kind of makes me wonder. I'm only 142 though, so I won't sweat it. Besides, they are almost exactly like the WH-R540s they are replacing, and I didn't have any troubles with those.

JUst lose weight LOL! I would think its a typo, but it also could be a "lawyero" - protect yourself from liablity at all cost!

lol, the zoom view is the same size as the thumbnail.

I want a pair for my cross bike.

well at least they are a real deal....4% is nothing to sneeze at

Yeah, I saw those a couple of weeks ago. Weight limit of 155 really does narrow the possible customer pool.

It's that whopping 4% discount that has me all atwitter.

Quick, get me the Amex card honey, and hold my calls.

They give you that stealth look for PAYBACK DAY!!

"with the ultra light weight" WTF? 1610g is sooooooo not ultra light weight. Hell, that's practically false advertising.

Instead of posting this, you should have contacted techincal support to confirm first, and then given the whole story.

OMG!! I'm surrounded by sub-160lb midgets in this forum!:eek: do you all eat like you're in a 3rd world country, or something? :o

That wouldn't have been much fun. And tech support takes FOREVER.

Well, I'm out.

It may have enough spokes, but it probably fails to mention that the spokes are really just shoelaces/fishing wire.

That and the rim is made out of recycled milk jugs.

spoke material =

Pfft...don't tell that to Mavic...they think the Ksyrium SL and ES are ultra light weight and they aren't much different in weight than those.
