My response to that was a honest inquiry as to whether you could point out those exact hypothetical people who are experiencing those carbon failures that you're clearing inferring. But no, you don't have any to point out as expected. No surprise there.

In contrast, I've already posted a link to a 73 page thread with many owners and users commenting pretty candidly on the pros and cons of their wheels, and there's not a reported failure in there.


General comments like "everything fails" are totally useless. They don't add any value whatsoever to the conversation because they're so general that they have no value. If you're going to imply that these carbon wheels are manufactured in such an inferior way that they are prone to early failure, provide examples or GTFO.
The plural of anecdote is not data, whether it's two or seventy three pages worth.

Not many people who drop a handful of benjamins on no-name wheels are going to brag about cracked nipple holes or downright asplosions or otherwise getting a substandard product.
