    Heard a 'clang' sound from the back wheel last week whilst riding to work - sounded like a spoke had just broken so I stopped to take a look but everything seemed fine. The wheel was running true and no loose spokes.
    Yesterday whilst cleaning the rear wheel, two of the spokes felt loose and when I went to pull them to test their tension they just fell off the hub. I realized the hub flange had cracked - was gutted as I'd spent a long time researching a decent set of hubs and then carefully built up the wheelset only to have one break like this after approx 15 months :mad: :(

    I guess this is not repairable - does anyone know if/where I can buy a replacement hub shell.

    At 15 months, I'd be making contact with DT Swiss to ask about warranty.

    I forgot to point out that it was a 2nd hand hub - I took a gamble and lost.
    If all else fails I can always sell the freehub.
