Don't know about the rear, but the front works out fine at least.. have one on my "beater"-bike, 16 spoke, clincher. (found it in a dumpster, along with a worn out rear, wohoo!)
It does seem to be strong and fine, and i guess a rear would work out great, if you can find a nice 16h hub and the right spokes that is..
