i am 260 lbs and have been mountain biking for years but want to get into road bikes. What are the inherent problems i might encounter. Any frames more forgiving , problems with wheels etc. Thanks for the info.
A issue will be the tension on the wheels. I recommend doing some searching on some good strong rims. You don't want it start wobbling after you accidently hit a ditch and then become slowed down because the brake is grinding on the rim.. I recommend finding a bike on craiglist. Usually you'll find people who has the same weight as you who upgraded their bike to their specs.
