Is there an optimal terrain/weight combination for AHH? Might want to speak to the folks at Riv.

Without landing directly on a rock, there's probably not that much you can do to the frame offroad. Wheels/Spokes are a whole different manner - that's what will typically fail first. Just try to gear your speed to the conditions and your ability. Plenty of big guys "ride light", which is the key to riding lighter gear on trails. good luck! - Jim -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes Send In Your Photos! - Here's how: http://www.cyclofiend.com/guidelines "The bike between her legs was like some hyper-evolved alien tail she'd somehow extruded, as though over patient centuries; a sweet and intricate bone-machine, grown Lexan-armored tires, near-frictionless bearings, and gas filled shocks."
