Actual wheelset is Mavic T520 40 spokes. Wheels are great for touring and commuting. But an additionnal and more performant wheelset would be nice for our 'sportive' ride. I'd like to find a strong alloy deep-rim with at least 28 spokes. Combine weight is about 320 lbs ( captain 6'4" 210 + stoker 5'3" 110 ) I read somewhere A-Force are limited to 125kg.
