I'm 245# & ride the stock 20/24 spoke wheels on my '06 Giant OCR Limited. I haven't had any problems to date. I do recommend however, after a few hundred miles to get the spokes/wheels retensioned & trued. It may not look like they need the maintenance, but it will go a long way to increase the lifespan of the wheels & prevent broken spokes. Just my $0.02.........
