I've got these.....
http://www.kinesisbikes.co.uk/products/wheels/crosslight-cxdisc
On a Genesis Croix De Fer bike I bought off cyclechat, and had nowt but bother with the rear...clicking, spokes snapping over and over.
So I had it rebuilt at my lbs with DT Swiss spokes and nipples...it's been back to lbs, the 1st time they had to replace the alloy nipples with brass ones (they said alloy ones were faulty). It's been back at least 3 times to be re-trued - and every time the non drive side spokes have become so loose that they rattled in the wind....this is usually in less than 10 miles.
At the moment the spokes are at least still tensioned now but the wheel is egged and out of true, luckily it's a disc wheel.
Are my problems down to a shit wheel or shit wheel building? Anyone else had this sort of thing...lbs say they've never had these things happen before and tbh I tend to believe them.
