20/18 spokes too few for 95- 100kg rider?

Buy them, I've ridden Fulcrum 3's for over 3 years with no problems and I'm over 90 kg

I'm 110 kilo and run a 16 spoke front and 20 rear and on those wheels I ride VERY rough surfaces and they still are in perfect true but those are shimano wheels

Would they happen to be RS31s or similar?

Rs11's

Thanks mate, that gives me a bit of confidence. I'm looking at the RS31s as I like the deep rims. I'm 75kg but I'd like to use mid-weighed down panniers during my commute.

I vary between 95-100kg and I've been commuting 20 miles/day on Fulcrum 5's with no problems for best part of 3 years.
No problems*, never needed truing and run better now than when I first got them. The roads round here can best be described as "F&*king Knackered".

* The rear wheel hub split at a spoke hole after < 200 miles, this was down to a manufacturing defect and was replaced under warranty.
