And you call yourself a clydesdale? For the love of god, Montressor, why? For example: Being 240 lbs at 6'4" is different than 240 lbs at 5'8". . .

My neighbor has miniature horses... I think I'd classify myself as a miniature Clydesdale... 5'10" and 260... Hopefully my new bike will change all that

You are all a bunch of lightweights!!
Here is a big boy (noe the white sneakers....just like a Clydesdale)!!
This was taken the day I came home with the bike...hadn't even rode it yet.....about 1 1/2 years ago. Should do a newer one I suppose one of these days.

Shimano may not make that cassette, but Sheldon Brown at Harris Cyclery does:

About halfway down the page, under "Custom Cassettes"

We shouid create a definition of "Clydesdale". 250 is definitely not a heavy hitter. Over 350, maybe? Weight should not be considered relative to the height, we are talking about whole mass and how much it can hurt the whimpy road bikes.
It should be beyond the capacity of the bike was designed for.
Edit: King Termite maybe doesn't look as big as he is in the photo. We should give another look when he is standing up like all others.
