ok, so i want to use my pub/ commuting/ late night escapade bike to carry my son with a rear-mounted seat. i have 105 wheels (2 of them) front 16 spoke rear 24 spoke. am i paranoid not trusting that the wheels will bear the weight OK? does less spokes mean a weaker wheel? (probably not, i dont really understand how this works)
cheers
child currently weighs in at around 13kg
