I've got chucker and strongs at the back, it's nice knowing that it's basically indistructable...
My last two back wheels have been this combo, the only reason I replaced the last one (and I'm about to replace this one) is because of threading the hubs.
Haven't lost a spoke in three years (on the rear), as my weight has gone up to 20 stone during this time and I've commuted several thousand miles as well as polo this might be a sign of overkill?
Nb: I've lost two plain gauge spokes on my commuting bike in the last year, but DT Swiss might be worthwhile.
