It was brought to my attention by Dominic and Positivo Espresso that Mavic has issued a world wide recall on MAVIC R-SYS wheels.
If you own a set of these wheels under no circumstances should you ride them and you should take them to either a MAvic dealership or contact Mavic directly.
The issue is with the carbon spokes fracturing and breaking up causing a chain reaction with the other spokes resulting in a complete failure of the wheel as seen below:
Mavic released a second generation of wheels after the original recall but it seems that the spokes are still easily fractured.
Again DO NOT RIDE THESE WHEELS!
