I think a 28h XR-270 will be okay. What type of riding do you do, and what hub and spokes are you planning on using?

XR 240 is heavier.

At 175m I went with a 20 hole XR 200 in front and a 24 hike XR 270 in the rear.

No problems to date, after 700 miles.

I could be wrong, but I believe that the XR240 has the thicker braking surface, therefore it weighs more.
