Several spokes had quite dramatic looking cracks, all on the drive side and when I looked closer nearly every drive side spoke showed some sign of cracks developing. Didn't seem to be anything on the non-drive side
took wheel in to LBS yesterday and they will talk to Trek on Tuesday. Mine are 2 years and 3 months old, warranty is 2 years but will be disappointed/annoyed if they don't replace it.
Fingers crossed!

Yep, Chris has the wheel and has sent the info through to Trek - just waiting to hear the outcome.mtbboy41 wrote:Hmmm Looks like I have joined the cracked rear wheel club. Was concerned about noises from the rear wheel when riding up my steep hill home. Checked the rear wheel and seven cracks on drive side spokes. Andy I noticed you are in Tas. Did Ken Self Cycles help you out. My wheels are only 14 months old.
Are you in Tas? Two cases close together might help both of us

My bike had recently been in for a service and when I saw this thread and then checked, I found the same cracking on the rear wheel (the front appears fine).
Super lucky as I'm only a few weeks from my two year warranty expiring.
It does leave me wondering how diligent the service guys have been ...

Just sounds like poor quality wheels really.

Not sure what to do now though as it seems to be a widespread problem and I have no more warranty ...
