We have already the above shimano wheels, which we use for roadracing. Super light. (I refer to the 7850-CL ScandiumAl carbon laminate wheels - not the 7850SL tubeless version without carbon) The question arises, whether they can be used for cyclocross races. Spokes appear very thin and few.
Any experiences?

Today they withstood at least one race. Any other experience - opinions?
