When Cyclingnews points out that riders looking for reliability always seem to pull out old-fashioned wheels with 32 spokes for Paris-Roubaix, Da Rin is quick to respond, pointing out, "Magnus Backstedt won Paris-Roubaix on Neutron wheels and was fourth in 2005."
I like articles like this as it gives a reference to answer questions of how strong your wheels are. It shows how strong a 1600g wheelset is, but makes me wonder why Campy doesn't try a little harder to offer a lightweight version of these wheels.

Magnus also rides Campagnolo Bora wheels without any problems.
I believe Bora and Lightweight are the only carbon wheels without real problems concerning the weight and strenght of their rider!
The carbon hub version of the Neutrons and the Eurus wheels doesn't exist in a tubular version!
