it has been established here (if i am not letting my biases intrude, and i understand properly) that the Shimano wheels are not repairable, have some other possible issues with not being as updated as claimed. I mentioned Campy Bullet 50 wheels which are fully supported by the manufacturer, and have replacement parts in case of a catastrophe, and are high quality, AND cheaper to boot. this opinion was dismissed with "I want Shimano". no problem, my feelings aren't hurt, just why bother?
