Thanks, and I did, actually! So did my friend who weighed about 260 (now 240) although he doesn't ride as much as I do...well, much at all I don't think.
The Denali wheelset can definitely take some abuse. I had the same problem with my aftermarket wheel...only a few months after purchase I had to retension the spokes, although it never broke any. The stock Denali wheel went for a year (1600 miles) without needing any service to the spokes.
