I have an O/C 36 hole Synergy that has a few cracks. I still ride it and it has at least 6000 miles. The matching front Synergy has no such issues. Wheels are Lesnick built with XT hubs purchased in '09. It is on my replace list, but I have been building my own lately. I will replace with an A23 to match the new front wheel I recently dyno'd.
