Yeah, I really don't know. I've heard that happening on Ksyriums once as well. That guy weighed about 220. I do know that the shop got it straightened out and he hasn't had problems in several years since they were brand new.
I got 7800's this year. I'm about 185lbs and ride pretty hard (raced them last weekend in big hills and fast descents) and have about 1,000 miles so far on them. I haven't had to touch them yet. They are not only a great looking wheelset but, at least on paper, a great design too (with the even rear wheel spoke tensioning and wider spaced rear bearings). I guess only time will tell about long range durability.
Vomatic, I'd make sure the shop gets them right or get a new set.
