I use my favorite wheels year round - 32 hole Open Pros (formerly Reflex clinchers) laced cross-3 to 1996 Campagnolo Chorus hubs (with 1997-1998 Record Titanium 9-speed freehubs) with DT 2.0/1.5 Revolutions front and rear non-drive side, DT 2.0/1.8 Competition drive side, and alloy nipples.

Using those wheels in Boulder, CO for a decade I'd switch to a spare set of Mavic MA40s on otherwise identical 36 hole hubs with a set of Vittoria 27mm cyclocross tires mounted on days with snow actually on the ground.

I inject new grease (Record and some Chorus hubs have grease ports in the middle) every year or so until clean grease comes out the seals and disassemble infrequently.

It works fine. I got 12 or 13 years out of the last Mavic Reflex front rim before I bent it (although it was getting a little concave and probably in need of replacement soon). No problem re-using the alloy nipples (I build my wheels with anti-seize on spoke threads and in the nipple sockets). It's been five years since I last crashed a rear wheel.
