    less than 175 lbs? why?

    I have a SON 28 with 28H DeepVs, been reliable since 2007, I weigh 270. Maybe people just need to do a better job avoiding potholes, I dunno.

    Mainly due to the use of the thin Laser spokes. The recommend weight is a little conservative, but the wheels start to feel a little soft under heavier riders with these spokes. With thicker spokes, the same wheels would work fine for a much heavier rider.
