Hi guys,
I am helping someone building a strong bike, my friend is around 115kg/18 stone. He has been riding a Carbon Bike for ages and has experienced a lot of issues, either in the BB, crankset, or wheels.
I got him a steel frame which he is very happy about, now after a month of riding he needs to look at a solid BB as he manage to completely destroy a Tage Square taper (more specifically the cups), otherwise the bike is alright.
What do you guys recommend in terms of BB/Crankset for abuse? - I was thinking maybe a sugino 75 BB?
wheelset wise, currently has Halo AeroRage
I suggested to him the Velocity Chukkers+BLB King Hubs maybe with straight spokes 2mm or something like that?
Also any other tips are very welcome!
Thanks
