I have a set of 2007 Zipp 404 Pave tubulars 32f/32r with black King Classic hubs and black DT aerolite spokes. I know that they are way overbuilt for road racing, but I was wondering if they would be a good choice as a cross wheel? Race only or general riding? After a near death experience riding this weekend, I am either going to sell them or move them over to a cross bike. They have like 150 miles on them, I could hopefully get a decent price or have a ton of miles left in them. Opinions?
Would these wheels be good for cross?

Surely somebody has something to say...
Forgot to mention that these are laced 2x front and back. I **think** that they would be great wheels for cross, but I don't want to market them as such if they aren't really ideal for cross racing and riding. Pricing is tough too because I just never see anything like them on ebay. Prolly good/durable enough to slap on a cross bike for general purpose riding on a bike path or in bad weather?

They'll work well for cross. Put some FMB tubbies on them and you'll be good to go.
