ye I commute on 28c tyres, they still feel fast. the r1.1 and 1.2 are rated for 100kg max, DT has a treking rim rated for 130kg rider, I know the 1.1 wont fall apart but will prob flex a little during a sprint, I shouldt worry too much but just want to make the best choice
by the way its only for outdoor velodrome use, I live 1.5km from the track
Oh right! I thought you were a track cyclist wanting wheels for the road.
I have mavic CXP33 on my road bike, and have built a couple wheels using shallower mavic rims and had some mavic touring rims on my bike. My DT RR 1.1, I built for my street fixed felt much much stiffer than the rest by far. Was dead easy to build up with high tension as the rim was so solid. Never needed truing since ( 3 years ), and I my back wheel got hit by a car during that time too!
I didnt realise bike parts like this have such modest weight limits. It must be exagerations. Just think about all the beefy 70's & 80's sprinters on skinny steel frames and low profile single wall, non-heat treated rims. The biggest stresses would surely come from hitting potholes at speed, thats what the "limitations" would be considering.
