Bontrager XXX

From Aaron:

This picture taken of my rear Bontrager XXX carbon MTB wheel off the Trek Top Fuel 9.9 SSL.

The bike has been ridden for about 6 weeks with about 25-30hours on these wheels. Rim showed this crack/split that occurred during normal riding. I’m not aware of any major hit or crash that would have caused it.

Coming from using metal based Bontrager Race X lites that after a half dozen years of abuse don’t even need to be trued -- this happening was a bit of a shock. (In addition to this rear wheel problem my front XXX wheel went out of true within 2 weeks of use).

Waiting on the warranty determination from Trek, the shop assumes they will go good on it. ($900 for a single wheel with 30hrs of use, a person would be inclined to think so, right?).

Ouch. I hope Trek helps you out.
