In general we have not had issues with any of our wheels apart from the normal wear and tear. If your wheel was rebuilt on a new rim with threadlock etc. you should not be having issues.
Anything abnormal in terms of type of riding? We'd be happy to have a look at the wheel if you send it in to Madison.

So I have a 2012 Powertap Pro (black hub) stock wheelset from Saris that has the Velocity A23 rims. The front wheel has been fine, but the back one has given me nothing but trouble. It would consistently come out of true and the dish would get all wonky. I had it trued by a shop 4 or 5 times within about 1k total miles. The shop said there's probably something funky with the rim/spokes and it's beyond repair, so they ordered a new A23 rim, put in new straight 15 gauge spokes and brass nipples and built it by hand with threadlocker. Now about another 1k miles later, it's come out of true again and the dish is screwed up. I've since moved to another state (YES, GOT OUT OF CALIFORNIA!!!!!) and the shop here said they've had quite a few issues with Powertaps being rather hard on wheels and needing to be trued/redished because of the flange size.
I believe 2012 was the first year Saris began using the A23 rims in their stock builds, can you offer any insight into what the deal is? Powertaps are everywhere, and I hadn't heard of recurring issues like this before, but since the A23 rim is rather new, I'm wondering if that's the issue.
Thanks
