Rear Hub : C to L Flange 48mm. C to R Flange 17.5mm. L Flange circle dia. 39.5mm. R Flange circle dia. 59mm
in the light of the flange distance, i guess it should be for 2:1 lacing...however i am wrong

9,853km logged so far on that wheelset specifically between last year and now. I don't know the total amount of climbing but I'll have to calculate that, whatever it is the number is very high. Maximum speed this year has topped at 51.2mph, it's only March. Wheels don't feel flexy, they feel plenty stiff. "Like on rails" no, but stiff enough for my needs. There is no break rub on the front nor rear while climbing. Never had to true the wheels despite some of the world's worst roads and construction zones in the city.
Hope that helps.

Yes, and I've heard lots of complaints from several of them. I am currently riding a 340 on the front, 28H 2X. I built it last year and has held up fine. As an amateur wheel builder I put alot of time into my builds, so verification from the 195 lb OP is the best verification I can find if the mis-matched tensions of the BHS rear hub mate to the low tension 340 rim. My guess is that if built with care, it will hold up fine.
