Was off on holiday last week, so today is my first commute since Thurs 4/10. Had spokes pull through the rim on my rear Mavic MA3 rim that day. I wasn't stranded but had a very slow ride home, especially given the head wind coupled with the rim rubbing on frame. It was probably the 5th time that's happened to me in the last 3-4 years-annoying enough that I've given up on the MA3, even though it would have been a warranty repair. The newly installed $140 Mavix CXP33 rim behaved itself on the way in this AM....hoping it lasts me at least a couple of years. The CXP33 was recommended by several folks on bikeforums clydesdale group
