I am not sure about Trek but the owners manual that came with my new Giant has a very detailed weight chart. Have you downloaded and looked at the owners manual for the bike you are considering?

I currently own a Fuji Tahoe 27.5 1.5 Disk (mountain bike) and it supports almost double my weight. I'm looking for a a daily rider (90% asphalt, 10% off road), and it looks like hybrid seems the way to go (had a road bike decades ago, not my current riding style). I looked into changing my tires for slicker road tires, but I think more changes would need to be made; probably be better off starting from scratch with a hybrid.

I'm concerned about the rear wheel and pedal weight tolerances. I'm sure the frame can support my weight without a problem, but the rear wheel and pedals will bear most of my weight (currently at 250, but working on trying to loose weight by proper diet and daily cycling).
