Oh yes, they're back!

Moths!?

Paul, probably due to the extreme power im capable of putting down a small crack had appeared by a spoke hole. So i now have a completely new, 2008 (and lighter) wheel.

The front one is the same, but the rear is a completely new 2008 model 404. Which weighs a few grams less than the old one, not bad ay. Think im going to break them both again about a month before the warranty runs out :wink:

Impossible not to. How could they justify not replacing a £1,000 wheelset if it cracks within a few hundred miles. Can't be often your tyre has a longer life expectancy than the wheel :D .

That's right up there with "laterally stiff yet vertically compliant", isn't it?
