It's great that they provided a quick warranty replacement. It's too bad that it sounds as though they aren't interested in stress relieving and tension balancing that wheel.

The single most important contributor to getting reasonable service life from clyde wheels is the quality of the build, how thoroughly the spokes are stress relieved and that they are uniformly tensioned to a reasonably high load for the components in question.

Keep a close eye on your new wheel. As soon as it starts to exhibit any variation in spoke tension or even the slightest bit of out of true get it back to the shop ASAP for tension balancing and stress relieving in addition to truing.
