As a point of reference, I built a similar set of wheels (32h, Synergy rims, LX or XT hubs) for a Bleriot a few years ago. The guy who rides it is probably 250, and started using the bike to carry heavy commuting loads and for loaded touring/camping trips. Last summer on the final leg of a week-long tour, during which, I gather, the bike was HEAVILY loaded over some not-so-smooth roads, the rim came apart in several places. No spokes were broken, so I simply moved the existing spokes over to a new rim and got the bike back on the road with minimal expense/hassle.
In the not-too-distant future, you'll be able to get Velocity Dyad rims in 650B. Those will be better for heavier riders, IMO.
