2-cross is fine for a 24-spoke wheel. But a 24-spoke wheel is not fine, in my opinion, especially for someone of your size.
Unfortunately, it will be expen$ive to do this right. It might be worth it to rebuild with all new spokes. It will be less expensive, and if you do it yourself, you would do a good job, and it might hold up. Are you game?
