im considering the purchase of an orbea volata road bike. my concern is the wheels set is a campy set with an interesting laceing patern. i am 200 lbs will these wheels support me adequatly or should i be looking at a more traditional lacing patern.
I'm about the same weight 190. I ride any and all types of wheels. You should be good to go with anything except the ultra light carbon models. Conventional is really best from a maintenance view but I have all kinds myself so I wouldn't tell anyone to stick with 32 standard wheels.
If you ride rough roads do consider that as a reason to get a little sturdier wheel. 25mm tires help on bad roads as well.
I'm a 200 lb Road Biker and have ridden lots of wheelsets. I haven't found one yet that I could easily tweak, especially Campy.
