Some wheels from my dad

On the way home from the Cino ride I stopped by my parents to spend the night. My dad conveniently pulls out three wheels for me. The first is a set of Velocity clincher rims with a Campagnolo front hub and unknown rear hub. See the photo below. One question, though. The freewheel is currently a Sachs Aris 13-24 8 spd. I've heard the horrors of bent axles with the 8 spd freewheels and haven't ever run one. I have a fair amount of power in the legs (years of riding and heavy squats/leg presses) but only weigh around 170 pounds. What are the odds of bending the axle if I go with that freewheel for now.



The unknown rear hub - it's really smooth:



The other rim is a NOS Wolber GTX 2 clincher rim with a Matrix sealed hub. I've never heard of the Matrix hub. The rim is nice so I'll need to find a matching (at least in color) front rim.
