On a side note. I recently dismantled my fixed wheels for a rebuild. The bearings and axle threading had gone on the front, and I'd found some cheap lightweight (relativly speaking)novatecs to replace them with.
As I unthreaded the rear wheel I noticed that the trailing spokes had pulled in the flange metal leaving notable dents. I'm thinking its because I had the tension too low when I first built them (and rode them up a couple mountains). Does that sound right? or are Zenith hubs made of cheese?
