Funny timing, my Jet 4's were making a clanking noise descending. I almost called my wife to pick me up, but pressed on. The mechanic at the shop told me the front wheel is done, and I'll have to get the hubs rebuilt but since its 18 spoke, those are hard to find.
Anyway they're selling me some Kysrium Elites at cost, which is about as high as I want to go; next year the plan is to get a new road bike with disc brakes, so the last thing I want to do is spend $$$ on race wheels. I still have the 60's for crits and some training wheels, but considering those training wheels have broken spokes 4 times including once on a bunny hop, there's no way I'm descending 20 miles in those.
