should I consider the planet X model B V2 perhaps?

Would the fulcrums be more durable do you think?

Opinions?

Ive had a pair of Fulcrum 5s for just over a year now and must have done close to 2000 miles with them.
They are bomb proof. Im a heavier rider at just over 200lbs and I have been surprised just how well they have managed with some of the potholes around here.

I have just swapped these onto my Genesis Aether and they look great in terms of looks and quality. Haven't ridden them yet though because my shoulder is still killing from hitting the van that decided to pull out on me nearly 3 weeks ago!!

I've been battering a set of 7's round loads of cyclocross events and still going well, despite a few offs, a pinch puncture, no damage at all.
