Default Sounds like you really do need to go pick my truck up from Union Station!

Sucks Matt. I'm surprised that DC roads got a bike wheel. I've had plenty of car wheels get taken out by those stupid roads. That's part of the reason why I drove the truck in to DC versus the A4 w/my wheels on it.

Default Yeah I was on their website as I was typing that

Its a question of if I want to buy another Campy wheelset (like the one that came with my bike) or jump ship to the Mavic Ksyrium Equipe (oh which I am currently using a front wheel of). Both about the same price...hmmm

Default buy a replacement rim, spokes and rebuild it yourself. It's fun!
