bontrager xxx lites (tubular) for cross?

I have a set of these that I've been using on my road bike and was wondering if anyone has used them or seen them used for cross. they are wickedly light - just not sure about the sturdiness of the carbon hubs.

thx

Interesting. I just scored a set of used Race Lites (flangeless hubs) and I'm curious about their suitability for cyclocross.
