They are rebuilding the wheel as we speak, on a double eyelet rim. Alan even asked "do you care about these decals? Same rim, but with two eyelets".<br /><br />It will probably cost closer to $200, but I went into the shop yesterday and I'm picking the wheel up tonight. Given I spent a total of 30 minutes and no money on logistics (got off one Caltrain in PA and had the deal done in time to get the next train), I'll take it.<br /><br />I have an Ultegra 32 hole hub sitting at home with the same issue (that one almost certainly caused by me overtensioning the spokes). I am going to try to build it up with an open pro rim in my spare time. If I screw it up I'll chalk the $$$ up to "entertainment". If not, I have a serviceable backup - or better yet a wheel I should use when I'm just commuting on the crappy bayway roads from SF->Sunnyvale.murphstahoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17378354136823393492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2363518953500961880.post-26385052497351223772010-01-29T08:43:44.831-08:002010-01-29T08:43:44.831-08:00Like DJ says it feels good to fix stuff, I’m just ...Like DJ says it feels good to fix stuff, I’m just not that handy I guess. In any event I’ve had this exact failure and in my case I’m highly confident it was a combination of lots of miles, me being a heavier cyclist and perhaps a touch too much spoke tension. Given the nature of the failure I also think you can be confident it didn’t result from the train or car ride.<br /><br />Zipp sourced the CSC hoop from DT Swiss so you have a couple of economical options available to repair your wheel. First you could look for the DT Swiss RR 1.1 hoop or the Zipp badged equivalent. The DT Swiss hoop is 415 grams, single eyelet and costs about $75. That and new nipples plus rebuild costs will probably run you $125 to $150. If you wanted to match your front wheel you could get out your hair drier and remove the DT Swiss decals and get replacements from Zipp.<br /><br />DT Swiss has made a double eyelet version of this hoop and is another option I’d recommend. It weighs a little more, 465 grams, but is stronger and cost is similar. There are 2 versions, the older version is badged RR 1.1 also (ask for the double eyelet version) and the new version is the RR 465. You might also consider the DT Swiss RR 1.2 or what is now marketed as the RR 585. It is a bit heavier, 585 grams, but is super strong and has a 30mm aero profile.<br /><br />All of these options would get your wheel repaired for less than $150 and if it were me I’d go with the double eyelet version DT Swiss hoop, the RR 465. Good luck.<br /><br />Russrenevatiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16961994324348043639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2363518953500961880.post-52603682580609164172010-01-28T08:14:20.726-08:002010-01-28T08:14:20.726-08:00I just refinished rebuilding a VeloMax wheel, rebu...I just refinished rebuilding a VeloMax wheel, rebuilt another not so long ago, and replaced a spoke on my Reynolds Powertap wheel. And I have another rim I may need to do next! (although may have the shop handle that one, since they have the wheel already).<br /><br />If the hub is good, I'm a fan of rebuilding. It's not that hard, and sort of fun.<br /><br />Metal rims which are marketed as lightweight eventually fail. Except, that is, for the mondo box-rim ones which weigh like 500+ grams each.<br /><br />The issue is getting the spoke tension nailed down. That's a bit tricky. Wheels I build never stay quite as true as new wheels do.<br /><br />Still, it feels good to fix stuff.djconnelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01484858820878605035noreply@blogger.com
