General Discussion / Bike recommendations for heavy people
« on: February 06, 2010, 07:44:50 pm »
Hi All,
My brother and I weigh 300 and 365 lbs and would like to get into touring. I have some experience doing 100 mile trips (about 100 pounds ago!) and I lose weight easily, so I will be able to do them again in about 4 months or so. I think my brother will be longer to get weight off, so we need to really look into this. I currently have a Gary Fisher trail bike with 27mm? wide wheels and I know they are no good at the weight I'm currently at. My brother is currently riding a Trek mountain bike with the wider tires and road treads. Any advice ?
