I started the warranty process with my LBS two weeks ago, and they're telling me it'll be another two weeks or more for the replacement wheel to get here. In two more weeks I'm sure I'll pop another spoke - I can hear it groaning & grinding as I ride right now.

I bought the Vuelta Corsa HD Road Wheels that Jarrett2 recommended. Hopefully these get me through this year's rides and I can learn how to build my own if I need to in the future.
