Just feel a little uneasy putting heavier loads on a 20 spoke wheel though? I'm 85kg or so to start with and the mavic state the weight limit at not much over 100 iirc

cue tester saying how he's a million kilos and rides 8 spoke wheels on world cup downhill tracks.

Paul Holdsworth isn't exactly skinny either, and he has 16 spokes both ends on his tandem. Mavic wouldn't sell so many Aksiums for use on OTP bikes if they broke easily, because the bike manufacturers would get pissed off with the warranty claims.
