This might be enough to feed another thread, but I concur.
I'm at 155 lbs with 20/24 spokes on lightweight aluminium rims and the wheels are (almost) dead straight (albeit i'm running 32s at low-ish pressures).
i've had a habit of taking the wheels out on trails and such. front wheel is lightly wonky because of hitting a few too many roots, but the rear is perfect.
Of course, YMMV.
