Yep, for sure this is "Not remotely HP Calculators," but it interests me as not just an HP calc enthusiast but a cyclist.

Tugdual, the big problem there is the stock wheels that road bikes typically come with. The frames themselves are tough, and I've known of several 350-pound riders on carbon road frames with no problems with the frame but they needed special wheels. I and my family are bantamweights by comparison (130-170 pounds), but we got our wheels made by Peter White at Peter White Cycles after breaking a lot of Bontrager wheels. He really knows wheelbuilding better than anyone else I know of. I found out about him on the T@H tandem forum where many tandem teams had 36-spoke wheels built by him and were showing a great track record. I have not done heavy touring on my pair (only light), but I have 30,000 miles on them and they've hardly even needed truing. They have Velocity Aerohead and Aerohead O/C rims and Ultegra non-cartridge-bearing hubs, 28 and 32 round double-butted Wheelsmith spokes. One of our sons was commuting with heavy loads, sometimes up to 90 pounds of tools and supplies on the rear rack, and on very bad roads, and his Peter-White-built rear wheel with a Velocity Deep-V rim and 36 spokes has proven completely reliable over many thousands of miles.
