Wheel advice.

I need some advice about a stiffer wheel set. My current wheels are a bit flexy on corners under my weight, I'm 276 Pounds (125 kilo for the rest of the world). I don't really wanna go carbon due to the high price point and I kinda feel like I won't get as long of life from them. I would prefer to be in the $600 to $800 range. Also my bike runs QR so if that helps with the advice.

Check out some suggestion from the Clyde forum.

...or the tandem forum.

If there are any wheels that can take a beating, those people will know. Our old 26er tandem still uses low-priced 36-hole Rhyno Lite rims on XT hubs. We're not really hard on them, but the front wheel still gets abused (no manuals on a tandem - you just smash over stuff) Search comparable wheels and you should do OK.

I'll second Mikesee @ lacemine29. crazy fast turnaround (even if initial contact can be a little hit or miss). I'm also a clyde and considering what I just paid for a rear (with DT350 hub), I think he can probably fix you up with a set for your $800 price point (or less).
