Road Wheel Weight Limits

This’ll probably be of little interest to anyone but me, but it’ll save me having to look it up repeatedly. I’m ignoring tubulars and disc/tri-spoke wheels for the moment.

Weight limits for road clincher wheels. All details taken from manufacturers website in Jan 2013.

A few manufacturers including Shimano, Halo, Cole, and ENVE, don’t appear to give any weight limits. This may or may not be a good thing.

Several manufactures including Rolf, Ritchey, and FFWD have vague statements regarding weight limits which don’t actually say anything useful, but are probably sufficient for them to deny any warranty claim if you’ve eaten too many pies. Probably best avoided.

    Well.. you never ride your bikes so the wheels will never reach their limit ;)

    I’ve probably ridden further than you this year, but that’s not saying much :)
