Default Maximum rider weight for Trek OCLV 5500

Hi,

What is the weight restriction for a trek 5500? I'm a Clydesdale and
am wondering what is the maximum rider weight Trek recommends for
their frames? (it would probably be a 56 cm model)

thx

rick

I'm 6'1", 250 and ride a 5200. When I bought mine, Trek could not
provide a maximum weight limit.

I swapped wheels in favor of a 36 spoke rear and 32 spoke front, as I
didn't like the feel of the Bontrager / Rolf wheels.

How big are you?
