Pinned rim joint! The wheel had only done 11 miles from new, because the previous 1,000 or so had been done on a dynohub wheel.
Mitigating circumstances eh?
This is all beginning to sound too much like Nuremburg, "vee ver just following orders".
You would have got away with it as well, if it hadn't been for those pesky kids (rotating your wheel 10 degrees).
However, it's photos of immaculately clean brake-cable nipples (I suspect polished), after 1000 miles, that make me glad I bought the Orbit Road Bike from you RZ.
