OK this is kind of getting spooky! Just bought a set of Mavic Aksiums, moderate priced training wheels and got a punture on my very first ride on brand new tyres. At home I had a chance to look closer and realised that the rim is dented, creating pressure right where the tube gave way. Whether they came like this or somehow I managed to make the dent, although it sure would have to take some force to cause it, I'm not sure. I'll take it back to the shop and get it replaced ASAP. But this has seriously got me thinking....am I jinxed with wheels or what? Read below and let me know your opinion.
1. My HED back wheel rim became cracked, luckily under warranty and had it replaced.
2. The bearings in my front HED wheel needed replacing, again done under Warranty.
3. Next set of wheels, Easton Aero back wheel was completely ruined on the descent after the Azami line due to heat. This was thier very first ride. Again replaced under warranty.
4. HED front wheel bearings need replacing again after only 6 months since changed!
5. Now this with my latest wheels.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
p.s. maybe it's karma for flipping birds at truck drivers!
