Interesting, maybe they have changed/improved them... They were still fairly new back then(or at least in this country) so it's quite possible that some of the early ones had problems that might be taken care of by now. I was pretty impressed with the fact that they shipped him a new pair of rims, even though he'd only had one fail.
