I weigh 175 (out of shape) and haven't ridden for years. Looking to get back on the road and shed about 10 lbs - used to love climbing and want to get some oober-cool, ultralight wheels.
Q: Am I too heavy for these wheels? Is there a published weight limit for them?
Thx,
MD in CO

Totally ridiculous. If you are racing cat 1 or 2 you could have these as some race day wheels. Otherwise save your money, or you'll just be another out of shape roadie on high end gear I pass on my 35 lb trail bike.I disagree with the above........If nicer gear inspires you to ride more, it's well worth it. I'd shop at Wal Mart if I bought bike gear that reflected my abilities! Why would I do that? KCThere is no rider weight limit on any Easton wheels. I weight 175 on a light day and ride these wheels on my favorite climbs, they insire me to ride hard and keep up with my friends. Consider if you're are hard on wheels or not.
