My rear wheel was just warranty replaced after failing at 2K miles (rim cracked around spoke nipples). If the replacement fails I'll probably go the Bicycle Wheel Warehouse route.
I have read about a bunch of the neuvations failing at the hub. They don't seem to be very clyde friendly. Although they look sweet and the price is awesome. maybe when i lose the clyde status i'll give em a try.
