Where's the limit? I'm looking at building new wheels for the Trek posted a bit further up. It's on some tatty 36/36 Linus wheels atm and I was looking at building a set of 36/36 Sputnik/Novatec/Alpine III. 100 kg captain and 35 kg stoker plus a few bags on weekend trips.
We had a crew weight of 170+ on 36/36 Rodi Airline to Shimano hubs with symmetrical lacing. Many racing crews in the ~150kg range use even lower spoke counts without trouble.
