Bikes: Surly Cross Check, set up for road use

Thoughts on Mavic CXP22 + 105 wheels for heavier rider?

Hi all,

My factory wheelset is reaching the end of its useful life, and I'm looking to replace/upgrade. I'm a big guy (about 235-240 lbs), and I ride a heavy-ish Surly Cross Check. A friend of mine recommended a set of Mavic CXP22s with 105 hubs (32-spoke). The hubs speak for themselves, and the rims seem to get pretty decent reviews, but I was wondering if anyone had any positive/negative experience, or if anyone had any alternative recommendations. Trying not to break the bank, obvi, so probably going with bicycle wheel warehouse unless someone knows something I don't.

Thoughts? Thanks, as always!
