Warranties are meant to cover this kind of thing. You'll get a new wheel, and maybe it won't break.
Hi,
The Shimano Dura-Ace WH-7900 is not a Walmart kind of wheel. This wheelset is certainly not cheap. However, failures or defects can occur even in top of the line products, and I can name a few. Its just part of the production process; its impossible to produce 100% defect free products. It does even happen in rocket science.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and I respect that, but as I mentioned before, I posted to get technical feedback, and not a discussion about product quality.
