I ride this wheelset on the road. I weigh over 200 pounds and ride on crappy pavement, and they've held up. Mihlbach has really good advice, too, but Dimension hubs should be lighter than Formulas and just as cheap.
There are a lot of really, really light road hubs--AC Micro 58, Speedcific Perception, White Industries H2, etc. And you should really look into the IRD/KinLin Niobium rims.
