These wheels take a lot of punishment and wear over time. Riding style, rider weight and terrain have to be taken into consideration. Even though I have learned to ride with a certain amount of finesse I still consider myself to be a clyde weighing in the 190-240 lb range throughout my cycling "career". I have gone through many wheels in many ways including the dreaded stress cracks around the spoke holes. I've done this to Mavics and Velocities. I have never had a manufacturer not replace the rim under warranty no matter how long I had been riding it. Send it back to the builder. Riv (Rich) are/is especially good about this type of customer service. I've purchased one wheel from Peter White. A front dyno wheel. Fronts generally don't have stress problems like these. So I never needed to approach him under such circumstances. He might charge you for the rebuild if the wheel is more than a year old but I can't imagine Velocity not giving him a new rim.
