Weight limit on 50mm Dura Ace Clinchers?

Anyone know if or what the weight limit is on 50mm Dura Ace wheels? I think they are the 7850-CL50 Clincher. I found the tubular specs on their site but not the clincher...

Thanks.

Shimano doesn't list weight limits for their wheels.

There is obviously a structural limit to the wheels, but this is typically not published. If you are worried, contact Shimano and ask them what their recommendations are. Keep in mind that while there is no rider weight limit listed for these wheels, performance will deteriorate some for heavier riders.
