OK, final result.

dropped of bike for leak in rear tire, 4/24/08;
got bike back, 5/7/08;

took a couple days to find leak, couple more fighting for warranty, couple more to get a new wheel, couple more to make sure new wheel ok;

LEAKY SPOKE;

that's what they told me;

apparently, 1 of 9 cast aluminum chrome spokes was porous enough to leak 2# of air a day thru the HUB;

told wheel made in austrailia;

cost me nothing but lost saddletime;

2 weeks to replace a wheel?  REPREHENSIBLE!
