What I thought was creaking from the need of new bearings turned out to be a crack in the rear Flo 30. I have not had an accident on these wheels. Still, I've been riding my entire adult life & have ridden equipment to the ground. Never have I experienced something as "catastrophic" as this. The irony is that I always considered the 30's to be the most bomb-proof wheelset I have ever ridden. (I'm passed the warranty stage.) The issue is this: I ordered those 30's along w/a set of 60's alu/carbon. So, I assume they came from the same production batch. If you were me, would you now abandon the 60's for fear of aluminum cracking?
I really loved those 30's. Always thought them far more reliable than the newer Aeolus on my roadie. :(
