I am 6' 8" and over 300lbs. Bike recommendations?

I was told that Specialized makes a 29er that would be good for me. What worries me is the cranks. Can they withstand my powerful legs and weight? Thanks for your help. I am just looking for a bike to exercise on, terrain is of little concern to me.

Specialized Rockhopper Comp 29er

Assuming that is the one recommended -- its a very strong bike that you should be very happy with. If you feel the cranks are too wimpy, your Local Bike Shop should be able to upgrade you with these:

Race Face Atlas Crankset with X-Type BB.

No worries after that.

your best bet would be to build a bike with 29" wheels but go to a frame builder for the frame and have it custom built for you becuase you are very tall.
as for cranks I would reccommend race face it is some durable stuff but then again shimano is fairly stiff too.
they both hold up for me and i can gaurentee that i put out more power than you will be able to

One with kenworth shock absorbers on them.

Good luck with finding one champ, try walking first, loose a bit of beef off ya body first mate.

I was going to suggest a 29er, I have no idea what cranks they run but if you're just exercising on it they should hold up.

sean o your a disrespectful prick
