I hope you're right. Aside from the tendency to fail...my old "Races" have been pretty hands off. They roll well and haven't needed any maintenance. I'd been keeping a close watch on my spoke nipple areas on the rim after witnessing the others fail, so when it finally went out of true and I took a close look at it, the cracks were starting and I took it straight in. Do you know if they changed anything else with the 2010 model? or is it the same rim, different drilling?
