Ben,
Simplistically, no. There's an art to wheelbuilding don't forget that.
But at your size, think more about rim section, ie: wider rims equal
stronger wheels and better tire distribution. I am not familiar with the
Atlas wheelset, but pay attention to rim width.
Either 32 3x or 36 3x should
4 additional 700c wheel-size 14-15-14 g spokes will add about 30 grams per
wheel, 6.2 - 6.7 g/spoke for Sapim and DT, respectively. Nips are a few
grams each. Its not that critical. Build 36 spoke wheels and be 11 percent
happier.

I am 6'6" and 210-- 32 spoke 700c wheels have always been fine for me.
Keep an eye on spoke tension with a new wheel, but otherwise, I have not
been able to discern any difference between 36 and 32 wheels.

Hey all!
Hypothetically...does an Atlas wheel set with 32 spokes for a 6'3" 210
pound dude make sense if he's on an unloaded Sam and using it as an
all-road bike? No singletrack/mountain biking, jumping, etc... Tires would
be AT LEAST 40mm, possibly up to 44mm.
OR...is it 36h or bust if
