Hi,i bought a pair of Equipe wheels about 3 years ago and the rear developed an annoying rattling sound.Unable to locate the source I returned them to the LBS I purchased them from and was told that the jointing plate inside had become detached.They were out of warranty so I would have to pay for this fault to be rectified but the cost was ridiculous.I therefore decided to purchase a new pair.
Now,after only 920 miles the front wheel of this new pair has the same fault.It will be covered by a warranty but this means at least one round trip of 140 miles to the shop.Anyone else had this problem?

    Insanity is doing the same things again and again expecting different results.
    I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles

    Why don't you do what I did...

    Give up on Equipes, they simply don't last (the rim cracked on my rear causing a spoke nipple to come clean off the rim)

    Buy some 105 / Mavic Open Pro built wheels (£200 for the pair at most online shops)
