Interesting. Same thing happened to mine, but Trek paid for the wheel under warranty, so I had the LBS that dealt with the claim put an Alex Adventurer rim on, which had a close enough diameter to just move over the spokes without even unlacing it, and the rest they put on my account as a store credit.

I did put a dynamo on my AHH, but went with a cheap 1W light because I wasn't sure if I'd like the hub. I'll probably upgrade the light, as it works well. > The Hunq is a vast improvement over the Trek. It has that "Rivendell" ride > where the Trek was solid but kind of dead. Yes, exactly!! I've always felt like it was dead. No spirit at all, just flat. > Still keeping the Trek as it has a lot of sentimental value and was there > before I drank the Rivendell Kool-aid. > Funny. For years the Trek was the bike to get on many forums. I wanted one for years. I remember a trip to Seattle once, sitting in the car waiting for somebody, and watching all of the bikes go by in the rain and noticing that a not insignificant number if them were 520s. When I finally got it, I was a bit disappointed. Rex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
