Windup supposedly happens when you're really cranking hard. The hub turns inside the rims, the spokes stretch, and then the rims catch up. If you like to imagine concepts in extremes like myself, imagine having rubber bands for spokes. In other words, did it feel like the wheel couldn't handle all the power you were putting out?
Thanks.

I never felt anything like that. I'd say they were perfectly capable of handling any power I could put out. What amount that is, I can't say. But my wheels always felt very stiff to me.
