Ok for a smooth rider of your weight, on smooth roads. But pushing the envelope if roads are bad or you have an aggressive riding style, ie. hard sharp maneuvers, rocking the bike when sprinting or climbing, bunny hops, etc.

The above also depends on the quality of the build, so that's another variable.

If you like them use them for rides they're suited for. Or consider swapping them for something better suited to how and where you ride.
