The Bontrager Select wheels that came on my '02 Lemond are dead after slightly over 5k miles. I flatted today and while I was fixing it I noticed several cracks in the rear wheel around the spoke nipples. Guess I am in the market for some new wheels.

All in all the wheels held up good. I only had to tweak them a couple of times to keep them true and I was not easy on them. They were my bad weather and commuter wheels and saw many a pothole.

Time to upgrade but also keep the cost down. I plan on swinging by the LBS tomorrow and see what they have.

lifetime warranty on Bontrager wheels.
The wheel is not covered unless it had a lifetime when I bought the bike. I don't deal with the LBS where I bought the bike anymore, not because of problems but I found a place closer to home that I like better, however I will swing by there first and see what they have to say.
