Thanks for all the advice guys.

I hope, as I get back into road biking that I lose a little bit of weight as well. My weight out of basic training was 168lbs. It always seems to creep up. I ride almost everywhere on my comfort bike and avoid using the car but nothing is very far from me so trips are usually short.

Lately I've started "super slow" weight training and instead of losing weight I'm GAINING it. I'm putting on a lot of muscle mass so I guess I'm building more heavy muscle than I'm loosing bulky yet lighter flubber. I don't think I'll be anywhere near 170 again but around 185 would be nice.

Still, I don't think 200lbs is that big of a deal for 32-spoke wheels. The wheels might not last forever but I know how to build them again.
