    I have a set off Mavic Ksyrium Equipe S Wheelset. Was going great until about a month ago.

    Rode through the summer/winter on them.

    The back wheel was slight out of tru so brought them back to the LBS about a month ago. A few rides later most of the tension in the spokes went. Brought it back again. Another few weeks later and most of the tension in the wheel is gone again.

    Looking at the nipples I'm wondering have they cracked and as a result why they keep losing tension? Are they ****ed at this stage? A bit pissed off if they are!

    How old are they? Where did you buy them?

    I need to double check but I reckon less than a year. Bought them in the LBS where I have brought them back twice. Not sure if I have a receipt
