I'm on the fence on purchasing a new pair of Fulcrum 7's for some road miles and then CX races in the Fall. I weigh about 190# so i can't afford to be too much of a weight weenie, nor would i be racing anything more advanced than B-Mens.
Obviously the wheels will hold for road riding but am curious if anyone has any experience with taking them off road.

Never used them myself. I have used Campy Chorus and Daytona hubs. I'm using Zonda's now. They all work perfect. My Chorus are actually 1995 8 sp converted to 9/10 sp. They're 14 years old and still perfect. Try this review of the 7's http://www.roadbikereview.com/cat/wheels/wheelsets/fulcrum/PRD_411221_2490crx.aspx
