oh yeah, thats how.
Yeah how did I gain over 200 since High School? HAHAAAA...
Like you, I was in my 230 to 240 range for my most active years, but the last 18, since retiring from the Navy, I ballooned. 378 down to 269, aiming for 240, maybe less.
I much prefer 700x28s, but now have 700x25s on my aluminum bikes. My drop bar 29er has massive 700x54s, but is still fast. I imagine some 42s may be better...
I may revisit lower spoke count wheels and 23s if I get under 240...
