Hi, I've read the first thirty replys on this thread and it seems like you guys know what you're on about.
I need to know if CPX33s are stronger than Open pro's for a heavier rider?
I've got wheels built with Open pro's and I keep getting spoke snappages, I've had them rebuilt about four times now and the last rebuild was with tandem spokes but still got a snapped spoke after only one twenty mile ride.
Is this because the wheel builder isn't good or is it the lack of strength in the rims?
I'm twenty stone btw, and that's a muscly twenty stone btw.
