Yeah, mine were popping spokes in pairs too. The picture above shows the bike after all the upgrades. I don't remember what the new rims were, but when I looked at the larger version of the picture they're Sun Swift SII rims. The set was close to $200, I think I overpaid (shop was in Manhattan). Bicycle Wheel Warehouse has nice
Mavic Fixed/FW sets for $150.
