quintonb Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Spoke count on the 105 hibs will be too lowHow so, the hubs come in 32 or 36 hole.I am talking about a conventional "old school" type hub, not a factory build 105 wheelset.
TK-Sp3cialiSt Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Check the weight limits according to Shimano's website. My suggestion of tandem wheels is based on most being 40 spoke and stronger hubs. If money is to be spent, rather get something to last. Edit : spelling Edited August 28, 2013 by TK-Sp3cialiSt

Edit : spellingOk I get what you trying to say, thought you were talking about the std. off the shelf shimano wheelset.Maybe Tandem wheels are the way for him. Maybe JB could comment.
Johan Bornman Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Ok I get what you trying to say, thought you were talking about the std. off the shelf shimano wheelset.Maybe Tandem wheels are the way for him. Maybe JB could comment. Tandem wheels will definitely work...with some modification. A tandem rear wheel is 145mm wide whereas a road bike rear wheel is 130mm wide. However, the Shimano tandem wheel is supplied with a convenient set of spacers that can be removed to do trick. That will definitely be the world's strongest wheel, strong enough for the Vleis Visagie quad.

quintonb Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Those are Mavic Aksium's, they will definitely not work for a big guy. It would be a total waste of money.Trust me they would break within a few weeks. Regarding postage, I had some wheels sent down from Joburg to Durban, cost me R230.00
