I broke a spoke on my ksyrium elite rear wheel last fall riding my cyclocross bike on the mtb trails. The nipples were seized so it couldn't be fixed. It took a while but I did find a black model wheel to match my front wheel on Ebay. Cost was $130 that included shipping. I had taken most of the ugly stickers off my original wheels and only left the silver one. The replacement wheel cam to me with the same ugly stickers missing.
