Another Wheel Thread

I am about 330 lbs and want to build up some wheels for a 1974 Raleigh Pro Mk IV. I have some Campy NR High flange hubs with 36 holes and I was thinking Sun CR-18 rims and 14ga stainless spokes. This would be a 120mm width so minimal dishing involved. I would normally use 28c tires; Serfas have been my favorite since I can inflate them enough to support me. Any opinions on this choice.

Use double butted spokes.
