Well I was riding them quite happily and I didn't notice anything untoward. DT Alpine spokes plus Archetypes makes for a ridiculously stiff wheelset, as you can probably imagine – they only got put to one side as I snapped my only non-disc frame, so I didn't have anything to use them with! I'm around 110kg and my last set of 32h Archetypes lasted until the brake track fell off.
I'm pretty sure that the spoke tension is too high on the rear, though – I vaguely remember reading that DT Alpine III spokes give funky readings on some tensiometers – so that'd possibly explain the cracking.
I'll be in London next week sometime (not quite sure when atm), so I can take them into the office (just off TCR) and leave them in wheel bags for you to collect whenever suits.
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.

The front is absolutely fine, though.
