Too much weight for road bike?
Hi there... I've been lazy the past year and have gained a lot of weight: I'm 6' and 230-240#! How much weight is too much to abuse my Coppi San Remo with? I am running 32-spoke Mavic Open Pro's. If I am currently too heavy for my bike, at what weight can I get back on it?
Also, do I need to worry about using a higher or lower air pressure than normal? Thanks for your time! I can't believe I let myself get this big!!!  |

Mount as large tires as your bicycle can clear. Run them at the pressure shown on the sidewalls. Watch the roads for hazards. Ride and enjoy loosing weight.
