I've had bike frames fail on me, and I've recounted such experiences here on this forum. Both bikes were only a year old or so, and their aluminium frames cracked - both replaced under warranty. I'm heavy, and I recognise that.....therefore the least I would do with wheels, is to make sure they won't collapse when I might be on a main road, with an HGV behind me.
