I'm using 2006 Mavic Aksiums that have been through everything (the braking surface is a bit worn). I just got back from a 35 mile ride (BK-Manhattan-BK) with them and they never fail to amaze me how they completely have no damage from the NYC potholes.
i might just do that, although i doubt if the gatorskins would have protected me here. i took off the gatorskins and switched on the gp4000's for the collegiate cycling season, but im having doubts about using them now. by the way, after seeing pictures of your epic winter treks, i wondered how you were able to do it with cosmic carbone (correct me if im wrong here). now i know the secret
