    What about the problems David Millar had with two of his Mavic disc wheels during a time trial in le Tour last year? The rims parted company with the wall of the disc on his original and then the replacement wheel.
    I'd rather walk than use Shimano

    Not U tube, but some photos

    ..if that was the one you mean. Mind you the guy riding did like a 90 degree turn to sprint for 14th place, so IMHO the issue was more about flying spears of carbon once the wheel exploded that whether any other type of wheel would have survived it..
    Fitter....healthier....more productive.....
