get some big apples .. maybe a thudbuster as well. That will eliminate hard "poundings" off the bike. Have the wheels checked after lets say 100 to 200 miles and carefully re tuned. Try to look for substantial latches and not too many adjustability functions like the handlepost for example. Splurge in a good set of pedals.
Dont ride down curbs (or Kerbs for our British friends )
carry the extra weight on a backpack to keep it suspended
