I have limited riding time, and I enjoy riding my carbon wheels more than my aluminum wheels. I've never broken a spoke in my life, so I'm not going to let an unlikely scenario dictate my equipment choice. I also ride tubulars despite the compromise you make in dealing with flats (yes, I know how to deal with a tubular flat, but a flat on a clincher can be repaired to 100% utility). And, seriously, how many people carry a spare spoke with them on their Saturday morning 40 miler? I just want to go for a bike ride, I'm not interested in being a pack-rat road warrior equipped for the apocalypse.
