I had a problem breaking spokes on my hybrid which was mostly about weight, but I've been told that any WELL MADE wheel should support me just fine. After I broke a third spoke, I had a new back wheel put on. It was a hand built mountain bike racing wheel. It was a little on the expensive side (about 80 bucks) but getting spokes repaired at 20 bucks a pop was also getting expensive. I've put 1200 miles on the new wheel with no problems at all.
