Will these wheel handle someone that is 230+ lbs?

I doubt it. I'm 160 and the rear was out of true in a month from the crappy roads I ride on.

I wouldn't risk it. I weigh 160-165 and I blew a rear spoke. I love the wheels, but I wouldn't trust them past 180-190.

This model that we purchased had the superior and stronger wheels, so it handles 300 lbs. when out and about; but check with mfg, to be sure, if weight limit was not in detail.

The 230 (and 231) have a step through design to get on and off. The older, and no longer made, 203 and 213 have a longer rail that the seat attaches to, that goes all the way to the pedal unit. This allows the seat to get closer to the pedals and people with shorter legs can use it. If you are sharter than 5'4" it is questionable wheather the 230 or 231 will work for you.

I can answer one of the questions. I am 220 pounds and they don't flex at all when I bouncce on them. I was actually surprised how strong they were.

These wheels worked well on our son's 24 inch, 21 speed bike. But, he tends to lean on the right wheel and it eventually bent outward. We managed to adjust it to touch the ground again by extending it by another setting on that side. The info says that the wheels can take up to 220 lbs in weight, but our boy is only about 100 lbs.

yes, they are a heavy strong wheel so the tube/tire should be nice and tight, as in able to hold a high PSI. nice and hard. these can handle a 28 for sure. like I said these wheels are heavy, but strong and VERY steady, as in stable. no wobble like with light wheels. So once you get going fast you keep going very fast. Great to use as your rear wheel if you use only one.

I imagine they can support anyone waying 185-200lbs. But, that is my opinion. My advise is to check with the manufacturer regarding maxium weight. Marcie

I am not sure about the weight limit, but because these Wheels require some fitness level, I believe it would be safer for you to work with a swiss ball and some kettle bells before "upgrading".

I bought for an older JAYCO trailer 2.200 lbs and they are great and were a great replacement and more weight than your trailer. As long as the wheels are the same....

Most likely. I imagine they included some leeway in making the maximum rider weight to be 230 lbs. It's a pretty sturdy bike.

When I purchased this bike I was 270 pounds, the tires are not designed to hold this weight unfortunately. I had to lose weight before I could ride the bike, I'd say around 230 or less would be ideal.

The answer is yes they will support a child who is older and heavier. They are very good in training wheels in my opinion.

I'm 205 lbs and ride my son's bike (carefully) and they seem to hold up pretty well.I was actually surprised at how sturdy these trainers were. That said I don't know how well they would support an adult full time.Perhaps the manufacturer could provide better stats? http://www.waldsports.com/index.cfm/get-help/From their web site: Please note: Wald training wheels are designed to be training aids used for a temporary period of time. If the rider has special needs or exceeds the designated weight limits, we cannot recommend our products for their use.

I obtained these wheels a year ago so don't remember. But I'm 180 lbs and I've carried more that 40+ lbs on the rear rack without damage to the wheels even though I've broken two rear racks. So strength is not an issue if that is your concern.

I think they have mentioned it in the specification. I had a friend who is about 230lbs get on it and it was fine.

I am 190 lbs. and have bounced on these bars to test the strength and did not have any issues. I have a few friends pushing 300lbs., but I do not think they have tried stepping on these when they get in the truck.

I think it would be ok for ......guessing 150lb and under? My husband played around it for a little and he is 190 nothing bad happened but no idea on long term use but it is very sturdy I'm just thinking wheels wearing rubber a bit faster but they r easy to replace
