Spin Trispoke Durability?

I've go a good deal coming my way on a SPIN Trispoke, but before I say anythings, I'd like to hear about their durability.

Any takers??

The relative durability of those kind of wheels is debatable as far as I am concerned. All you hear is anecdotal evidence. The one thing I am confident about is that when a regular wheel fails its bends. Composite stuff usually cracks, which is scarier to me.
