Er - I meant ellipse. Stupid. Sorry.

Anyone doing this? I recently smashed my rear wheel in an alleycat (paul highflanges + open pros) and I want to send my paul hub back to paul for some tlc before rebuilding the wheel. This will leave me without a rear wheel for a time... I figure 3-8 weeks or so. Since I was already considering gettitng a set of mavic eclipse wheels for the track in the spring, I figure that I could save myself having to spend $130 on a cheap rear wheel to use for a few weeks by just grabbing the eclipse rear wheel now and using it.

I live in Brooklyn and I do a 20mile roundtrip daily commute to Manhattan and back and I ride a lot in Prospect Park. I'm just asking if there is a reason why I shouldn't put about 1000 street miles on an eclipse and if anyone has ridden these on the street for any length of time. Thanks.
