I ride with a friend who is a big guy. He is about 6'5" 265lbs. While being a large person, he is a phenomenal rider. In addition to logging a bunch of miles (over 140 miles/week), he encourages others to ride and is generally a really good person.
The problem is he keeps breaking spokes on his wheels. It seems like he breaks one spoke a month or every other month. Does anyone have a suggestion on what type of wheel should be used by an avid, but large cyclist? I've already offered to give him money toward lead wheels so I can keep up with him.
