The number of people with broken wheels designed for road that I have to fix up each week between races.

You don't bring a knife to a gun fight. don't bring a road bike to a cross race....road wheels...same thing....in this day and age. It didn't used to be that way.

Many years ago we were truly the only real builder wheel brand involved in the cross scene enough to dedicate designs and molds to it. There is some other "me-too" product out there now but usually built with a roadie influence and just not as strong. As a result we are about 65%-70% cyclocross now. When you spend every week from August to Feb in the trenches fixing stuff that breaks you learn a lot. Bontrager isn't spending that time in any pit with anyone. Neither is Zipp....or Reynolds....etc...

Just FWIW.
