XeroLite wheels for a *heavy* rider
I just put together my new cross bike I picked up on ebay last week. The wheels are XeroLite 12 spoke pairs in the rear and 10 spoke pairs in the front.
I searched BikeForums and roadbikereview.com and didn't find the information I was looking for.
I'm currently ~190 pounds. Will these wheels be ok for my weight or should I swap and use the wheels off my old cross bike --- 36 spoke Mavic MA3 rims with Tiagra hubs?
I'm not racing cyclocross. Just riding off-road.

I'd say ride 'em until they show you a weakness.
