I'd suggest considering the Bitex 312 hubs. Essentially the same weight as the 240s, a fair chunk cheaper and I've found them to be durable on the wheels I've got. They've got decent-sized bearings, and once you've got decent-sized bearings there's not really a whole heap to go wrong on a pair of hubs provided they don't explodinate. I've got a pair on the wheels on my Lynskey, and they're going strong after a fair few miles, including a week in the Dolomites and a week in the Alps last year.
