I could do that, but these wheels are tired and ready for bed. They have been good wheels, but they originally came on a cyclocross bike that I bought used from a friend, and I've ridden them hard for 3 years. They are also the bottom of the line rolf's and the rims are in rough shape. The rims/spokes have been pretty maintenance free for the entire time. I've been told that it is difficult to service those wheels because the tension is so much higher than a standard spoked wheel. I've repacked the hubs a couple of times and the bearing races are showing signs of pitting. It is their time.
