Bear in mind the wheel is only as strong as the build. I changed the spokes on mine for ssteel and increased the rear spoke size to increase strength. The wheels are stronger and true.
Same thing applied when building montain bike wheels a few yrs ago for serious off road abuse. There still as true today and the spokes still spot on.
