Actually, that's not the wheel that came with the 7.5fx. It was an upgrade, and three shops I stopped at all advised me it was a manufacturer defect. My local shop is treating it as a defective wheel, and I should be getting a replacement.
For the record, I broke 4 spokes on tour, and 2 the week before. Six spokes in two and a half weeks - the wheel is less than 4 months old.
