I had a similar wheel set. Dura Ace hubs (7700-series), Mavic CXP-33 rims, 32H, 3X with WS 2.0/1.7/2.0 spokes. I weigh about 150 and these wheels lasted over 35,000 miles. They were built by the Wheelsmith shop and never needed the slightest retruing. They were finally taken out of service when the brake tracks got too thin to trust.
