2 pairs of Specialized Roval Echappees (these are built for heavier riders) with in 2 years

Broke spokes and had derailleur pinging issues (the derailleur hitting the spokes when at its max and min) on a pair of Shimano basic wheels. With in 2 years.

Most high end wheels have a 90kg weight limit and its there for a reason. Anyone heavier will damage the wheel over time and both of us feel that 2-3years use of a wheel is not really good enough considering the cost $2K or so for the pair.
Hi Kiwi! Thanks so much for your advice...so, around 200 pounds is the limit. I think I might be okay. Not sure of these wheels, though...I'm still learning about bike parts and all. These wheels are "SWFT Alloy 24 spoke Deep Dish Aero wheel set".
