Good point.
Anyway it shouldn't be that tough to make a strong wheelset that isn't tooooooo light. If I can save a pound (454 grams) off my current wheelset I would be happy enough. It shouldn't be that expensive to do since the tubular rims are lighter by their very nature (construction requires less metal)
I feel much safer doing fast stuff with tubulars underneath me. With clinchers I might end up like this during 50-60 mph descents----->
