<p>Easy, Nathan.</p>

<p>Get a set of hubs (32h or 36h) and have them built up to Velocity Major Toms. You could probably find some older Deore hubs (36h) that are almost bullet-proof for very little. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I'm also around 200 and have raced a set of DuraAce/Major Tom's (28h/32h) with Challenge Fangos for 2 seasons with no issues. I usually run 26psi-front/30psi-rear. </p>

<p>You could end up with those built up for easily under $500 all in and if you go to a good builder they could take your size, riding style and wheel weight into consideration.</p>

Hmm, ok.<br/>
If I go tubular, then the main thing will be to get as strong a wheelset as possible (disc hubs). What would you suggest that would be stronger than the Crossmax's?

<p>I'm not sure the Tufo tires are still around in that model. They weren't that great to begin with and you can roll them off too. I've done it. They are a pain to mount too.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Open tubular is a clincher of a certain make, so it's not really anything new.</p>
<p></p>
<p>You can easily find tubular wheelsets with tires for $250 or so. Keep looking around. Maybe sell the Mavics to cover the cost? You can always build up a lighter stronger wheel for less by hand than Mavic sells out…</p>
