Y'all are probably going to hate me, but I just had to buy an emergency set of Mavic Speedcity's. The spoke was about to pull completely through the rear rim. The aluminum was begining to flake like pottery. I had to do it.

The Speedcity's were the only wheels I could get my hands on inside of a week. I didn't want to switch all my gear over to my mono-braked track bike. Here's hoping they last through Christmas. They sure are nice to look at, though. Probably took a pound off my bike weight, too. Gulp. Also, the manager at my LBS had them on clearance and threw in the MP3 Thanks again for all the great suggestions. Feel free to keep the post going. I'll update this post on the longevity of the new hoops.

Here's a link to the description. Pray for me. Pray for the wheels . . .
