The LBS guys replaced the broken spokes and told me to ride it on the metric century. They decided to warranty the wheel, and I agreed to request an upgrade. I'm not sure what that will be yet .

I made MY FIRST metric century without breaking another spoke. The ride was brutal in 96 degree heat. The SAG wagon was busy hauling experienced cyclist home (cramps mostly). I rode up over a hill to see a turkey buzzard hoping out of the rode with a spoke in his beak . Ride support was great and I'm not embarrassed to say I was relieved to see those canopies and ice chests.

I celebrated at the Mexican Restaraunt with ICE COLD DOS X'S, POR FAVOR
