Same 24 spoke wheels as tsl. Same weight. Same issues. 5 trues of the rear wheel since June 2009

32 spoke cross laced wheel is in the mail. It can't come soon enough.

I'm 175, carry a little less than you daily and a lot more on grocery runs. I suffered through two years and two sets of 24-spoke paired 2-cross laced wheels. Couldn't keep them true, and broke spokes with alarming regularity.
