    Well, if there is a problem with the rims. I know my LBS will make it right. They may not make my St. Pat's deadline, but they haven't let me down yet. And I had to deal with Trek warranty issues before. If you buy enough bike stuff, you're bound to get a defect from time to time. OR buy cheap, when you shouldn't have.

    Oh, well. It will all work out, I'm sure. Maybe the spokes are too tight and poking through the rim too far????? I hope they figure it out.

    I assume they used rim tape...but you might want to check.
