Thanks knobster - thats basically my question.
Im purchasing a cyclo cross bike, however I dont plan on doing any serious off roading or racing.
I was considering getting some nicer racing wheels.
So I wanted to know if those wheels, coupled with a cross tire, would be ok for 90% road, and 10% general offroading (hardpacked dirt, etc) .
It looks like you are saying thats not a good idea.
Anyone else have any thoughts on doing this?
