Aw, Dang It!!!
I just had the Bianchi 928 up on the stand, checking the shifting (some gears sounded 'loud' on yesterday's ride, but shifting was fine), and I noticed what looked like cracks radiating from one of the spoke holes. Upon further investigation, these cracks are present on at least 10 of 27 spoke holes (2006 Fulcrum Racing 5's, so 27 spoke rears).
Well, nuts! I mean, obviously the rim is shot! But so far the hub has been fine. And the front is fine, as well. No hint of cracking. BUT it's not like I'll find a 27 hole rim to lace to this hub!
I guess this means I'm in the market for a new wheelset, something strong but light and costing under $500. Any suggestions?

That's $150 with shipping, then I need to have them built up ('cause I don't have a truing stand or any skill), and probably ought to use all new spokes and nipples.
I found NEW Fulcrum Racing 5 wheelsets on PBK for $247......
Hmmmmmmmmm.............
