I've been on a racing (training) hiatus as my kids have been growing up.
I might have trashed my HED Jet 60/90 wheels a few years ago when I started just using them to train on for a half. I'm 230lbs and the 90 was a stallion build. They had two spokes that broke during that time. I had them fixed both times but never used them again. About 1 1/2 years ago I went into the basement garage where they had been sitting and half the spokes on both wheels were snapped in the middle. I've had some crazy issues with humidity and rust down there around the same time. I have no idea how that happened, but have read that it has happened before. The spokes seem so flimsy when I touch them.
My question is since I think these were $1400 12 years ago new and I think they are true are these fixable? I'm not sure what a shop would charge to do all of that. I believe the first spoke repair at the shot they didn't torque it down properly, because the next repair the guy point out how the hub had gouged out and eventually could just freespin. I know that is a bad description of parts. Maybe replacing is a better option?
I've been riding the same 2009 P2SL this whole time and have thought about upgrading, but continue to hesitate since it was a rocket for me for quite awhile. Quite a bit of rust on screwheads from sweat, Di2 looks intriguing, don't care about disc brakes.
If anyone has any suggestions outside of this being fixable for a clydesdale it would be much appreciated? Are HED 3s bulletproof for heavier riders? Or should I just avoid all the deep rim stuff? I don't know how much those wheels helped versus me just not being in as good a shape recently when I road on the stock wheels for a race, but I felt much slower and the time backed that up.
