Thx to those of you that posted some more info after the last time I wrote in here. I read some, then took me a bit to get back to the pc/thread.
Yes... I would agree. Lighter gals do not have the same issues as heavy guy hammer heads. I think it would be pretty hard for us to blow up a wheelset in comparison.
Oh, and yes... I'm a gear geek it out to the max shopper. I'm still tainted and scorned from my original bike buying experience. Thus, I never buy any bike gear without consulting the wise words of my cyber pals here on TE.
And as far as my bike ordering/buying, that's been put on the hold for the moment, unfortunately *sigh*. Just as I was done geeking out my choices, I had a mishap and broke a bone in my foot!
What awful timing with Spring *finally* here. But, I'll try to behave while I heal and be patient.

Thx Oakleaf

But, the ortho surg doc said a couple weeks I could try some stuff taking it easy if I felt ok. Having stiff bike shoes that don't let the foot flex is to my advantage. Versus if I were a runner with this same injury.

Oh so sad!!!! It will give you plenty of time to get the bike built though! That can take a while and is frustrating...

Then today I saw a sure sign of spring. One of my yard bushes was shedding bloom buds preparing for leaves. I thought, "hmm, little bush are you trying to tell me something about my bike decision, or what?" lol.

Definitely get it started.
Spring has been here in TX for a few weeks now and I'm loving having the new bike...
