If you hit the one pothole/rock/debris the paceline doesn't point out " and need to replace a rim, its damn near $900 just for the freaking rim!"

For S-n-G, how bout if it cracks both rims?

enve's crash replacement policy is pretty good:

buut, half price is still real money.
Got sponsors? No?

The choice is very simple for you, but you're selling yourself, hard.
How long are you willing to go without a rideable bike?
How many backup wheelsets are in your race kit?
