Another friend had rim cracking at the eyelets after just 2 years. Mavic doesn't have customer service that talks to customers in the USA, you have to go through where you sold them. Now imagine you bought them used and they broke? You'd be looking at probably paying out what you paid for them to be fixed.

What is your budget?
