I have had the bike for 4 months, although I train and commute up to 350 to 400ks a week.
During the free first service I asked the LBS to have a look at the rear wheel as it was very slightly out of true. I was told this was within tolerances.
It has become alot worse in the last month, so I need to get the wheel back to them.
I have to say I love the bike, and do not regret buying it for a moment.

That's what I've got.

Probably weigh within 2kg of those giant wheels
They are grinding away a tad under wet braking though

Interesting that mine have been pretty good so far on the TCR Advanced I have (which you've seen I think). I'm hoping I haven't jinxed them by saying that. Quite dependable so far, though I don't put massive amounts of weight through them.biker jk wrote:Yesterday I rode with a guy whose Giant had PSL-0 wheels. He says the rear flexes and rubs on the brakes when out of the saddle. I was having a look at the rear wheel and noticed a kink in one of the spokes around five cm from the nipple. Don't know what happened there but I suggested he get that spoke replaced.
I'm wary of the issues though and keep an eye on them.

The rider I mentioned is a fair bit heavier than you and puts out a lot of power. You should be ok.g-boaf wrote:Interesting that mine have been pretty good so far on the TCR Advanced I have (which you've seen I think). I'm hoping I haven't jinxed them by saying that.

Yep. I had heard this. My PSLR-1's were swapped for DA C24's without me even suggesting it.roadiematt wrote:I stated this thread and clearly there has been issues with these wheels but to Giants credit they seem to be swapping faulty wheelsets with a similar Shimano wheelset, just to let everyone know the RS61s that I was given under warranty have been bullet proof and are as straight and true as the day I got them a almost a year ago, so it was not my riding style or weight that was making me snap spokes it was inferior straight pull spokes.

Problem is lack of choice to replace it due to OD2 - but it's an easy swap at the shop, no arguments.

If another goes I will try and hit up the LBS for a replacement set. The bike is now over a year old so I am not sure if its still covered.

Heard a loud twang while riding, lucky it happened in a fairly safe spot i guess?
Didn't know what was broken at first, just the front wheel wouldn't turn, so i thought the brake cable had snapped or something (from the twang sound), then looked down and realised i had a walk ahead of me, god damn the ground was hot today.
