I'm 180 and took my two 2x 24 spoke front w/ CX-Ray and XR-270 down some rather rough fire road last weekend, and its still straight as can be. I'd at least eBay some old decent hubs, or get new from bikehubstore.com (he is a regular at some other forums, and has some great hubs for cheap) and give it a shot.
