    I heard there was a recall of some part of the 2007 or 2008 model, can't remember for sure. Maybe that's what caused the problems they were referring to?
    Thx, maybe that is what the shop is talking about. One of my friends said he has the Ultegras. They match his ice grey gruppo all the way around. His riding partner had the Mavics. The thing he said about them is that the blades made more of a buzzing sounds. I have heard that Chris King hubs do the same thing--buzz like a bee. Preference I guess. Though, none of these WSs have CK. I think some peeps like it. Appreciate the input. Good to know you are happy with your set.

    Question Bladed Spokes

    Just an add to my thread here...

    I've read that bladed spokes can be a con in some ways...

    1) noise produced

    2) crosswinds

    Any comments, please add.

    I think the Ultegras are the only ones without bladed spokes (of the 3 WSs I listed)? They look round from what I can tell...
