MAESTRO's Posted December 21, 2011 Share Easton EA 90 SL....heavier than the SLX .....R4 hubs, 24 spokes front, 28 rear. Built for the heavier rider. If you need more strength,then go for a custom build....DT 240 hubs, 32 spoke front and rear, Ambrosio or Mavic rims, 25mm tyres and you set for life.

Let's Ride Posted December 21, 2011 Share Spinergy - no weight limit - spokes 6 to 8 times stronger than steel! www.spinergy.com Very good wheels! I had them and they were great. Edited December 21, 2011 by Alpina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberaver Posted December 21, 2011 Share Afraid to post my weight here but lets say they don't make wheels for my weight as standard. I ride spinergy and haven't had an issue. Spin fast and have been true to date. Also cartridge bearings so simple to maintain the bearings part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reg Lizard Posted December 22, 2011 Share I weigh more or less the same as you and had a pair of Mavic Ksyrium ELites for about 4 years (±25000km) with no problem at all. I now ride the SL's for about 2 years and have done about 15000km with them with 2 spokes breaking on the drive side of the rear wheel. So I am of the opinion that the Elites are as they say bomb proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieterg Posted December 22, 2011 Share Used Eastons and they were super no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big J-WP Posted December 22, 2011 Share Very happy with my Campagnolo Eurus Ditto, they can carry over 140kg's. rode a set for a while and did not have one problem and they light. If you want something more aero you can look at the Dura Ace carbon 50. NO weight limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody came in to a shop the other week when I was there, light guy (70-75) with the C50's.Didn't hear what happened but he snapped 4 spokes.not sure what went down.
