I ordered the Aksium One Disc wheels while they were on sale (thanks for the ebay tip though). When my ship comes in (wtf does that idiom even infer?) - maybe I'll drop $700 - $3,000 on a set of bicycle wheels. I think I'll have to settle for these for now though as my second set (if the stock rear can even be fixed - had to take it in to have the bike shop take a shot at getting it true again and check spoke tension for me).

I guess I'll find out about how bad dealing with Mavic might be if I ever need to (hopefully not). I do appreciate everyone's input.
