Why is there a weight limit on the F2R wheels?
The weight limit is there to ensure the safety of the rider in hilly conditions. We did test the wheels with 80+ riders, but we decided to create a larger safety buffer for this specific wheelset. The construction of the wheel/rim itself is not a problem at all. The stiffness and strength are up there with the best considering climbing wheelsets. It is the descend that could form a problem where heavier riders will create more heat in the rim when braking. The rim is just too light (low volume) for the heat to stay under a reasonable limit. This excess heat influences the braking performance negativily and could therefore get below the standard that we have set as the minimum.
