Unlike a lot of people in this forum, I'll never understand the "race only" thing. I refuse to buy anything that will not withstand the daily use. It is as simple as that. Not only do I refuse to buy t, but I will catalog it as a disposable piece of crap if it is labeled as a "special occasion item". Having said that, you have to use common sense and rely a little on manufacturer's recommendations too. If they can't back up their product for your intended use, then don't get it. If they back it up, hold them to it when/if it fails.

I personally don't have any experience with these particular wheels. However, I can't see why you would not use them daily unless you like to do off road riding in your road bike. In that case, ANY set of wheels will be chit in a short time. I do know a few people that use Reynolds carbon wheels as their daily wheels. Haven't heard any issues from them. As a matter of fact, if I was to get a set of aero wheels to ride daily, Reynolds is likely the ones I would get.

I do ride carbon wheels daily and I am borderline on the weight that most people claim it is impossible for riding carbon wheels. Apparently my wheels haven't got the memo about it yet.
