Thanks.

I know someone riding them on the crappy streets here in SD who weighs considerably more than you and he hasn't had any issues. As long as you're not aiming for huge potholes and crashing into things on purpose, you'll be fine.

A huge box of those low flange hubs is arriving early next week. I'll be building a bunch more of those wheelsets ASAP.
