"you won't break them....  Other nice rims for the heavier rider is the DT Swiss 585."

"Ditto that recommendation.  I have had a set of TWE wheels on my climbing bike for 3+ years - roll very smoothly & never any issued or adjustments.  It is a one man shop & Greg knows his stuff."

Hi Jarrod,

Welcome to Adelaide Cyclists. You might be interested in joining AC group Commuters and, if you cycle in the city, Adelaide BUG. I coordinate four AC groups with emphasis on improving cycling conditions: Adelaide BUG, Prospect BUG, Look For Cyclists and Vote For Cyclists. There is more info in the introduction on each group web page.

Cheers, Heather
