I've got wheels similar to this stock on my Salsa La Cruz. My rims are Delgado "Race," but that may be what's on here. Some folks in some settings have described weakness in the Delgado Race. I've had no trouble yet in my under 400 miles on a new bike.

I'm going to scope the Mavic wheels mentioned, tho, as I wouldn't mind getting lighter, especially if the Delgado Race rims do develop a problem.
