I used a pair of 36 hole Mod. 3's on an old Motobecane tandem that I used to ride with my daughter when she was young and lighter. Never had a problem, but these were short recreational rides. (The bike had a whippy mixte rear.)

That being said, I'd opt for the Super Champs. I think they are stronger in the eyelet area, where I have seen failure in the early Mavic rims. Availablity might be the final opinion.
