How strong are campag Eurus?

[stewie911]

Because of my weight(67kg) this might turn out a kinda stupid question, but how many bumps can these wheels take.

 

I ride them pretty hard. Onto sidewalk, bunny hop off sidewalks, ride some gravel. Sometimes down a few steps/stairs.

 

I know my tyres wont last as long, but how will the wheels take it?

For your weight you'll be fine. Honestly, why on earth would you be bunny-hopping with Eurus wheels in the first place? I'd be more worried a bout whatever frame you have giving out if you are riding stairs and stuff long before the wheels break. Also, why wont the tyres last?

They are plenty strong - I know of a number of 95kg+ guys who have ridden them for years without issues...

I sometimes use the bike to commute and I really really want a cyclo cross bike. Plus I enjoy it.

Frame is cervelo R3, which was kinda made for the paris roubaix, so I think it will hold up.

Tyres really don't like all the little rocks and glass lying on the gravel.

 

I do take it easy on the stairs, was more the bunny hops from the sidewalks that had me worried

You should seriously think of getting a MTB if you want to bunny hop & go down stairs, etc.

 

It's a mortal sin to treat Eurus wheels like that.

I would consider myself more of a mtber than a roadie.

 

It's not like I ride like this every time. Normally only on a Sunday afternoon cruise or quick trips to the shop

You have already answered your own question. They are strong enough to do what you want from them.

 

 

You have to distinguish between strength and durability. Strength is an indication that they won't collapse under whatever the load is you're applying to them.

 

Durability referes to how long they'll be able to carry that load.

 

What you're doing to that wheel will not significantly affect its fatigue life (usually spoke life or rim life). Just riding along puts far more repetitive strain on the wheels than a couple of stairs or sidewalks drop-offs. When ridingh you're stressing and relieving the spokes at a rate of once every wheel revolution, i.e. once every 2 meters you travel.

 

Compare this to a couple of hops and stairs - insignificant.

 

Go on , have fun.
