Floyd

how much do you weigh?

I dunno about the first two, but the Ergals are too light for me (at circa 180 lbs)

I had one disintegrate on me during a ride 20 years ago when I was lighter. (20 + miles from home of course) If you are a lightweight, they might be fine, but I assume you want the wheels to last!

I would certainly opt for something a bit heavier - especially on the rear.
