I know Sheldon Brown > rode a bike with a 24-spoke front, and he was a big guy too. At 300 lbs I'd recommend 48 spokes rear and 36 up front. 650B or 559 rather than 622 seems like a good choice. Ideally I'd also recommend a wide spaced tandem rear hub (145 mm instead of 130 or 135) to minimize dish and maximize the stability of the rear wheel. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
