Just to update everyone on the status of my AC29s...
I shipped my wheels to Topolino on July 30th and I still don't have them back yet.
Topolino called about 2 weeks ago and said they are replacing 1 side of spokes on both wheels under warranty and found a dent in the rear rim; so I had them replace the rim as well ($60~$80 bucks).
I will let you know once I finally get them in hand but turnaround time for a repair isn't looking too speedy at this point.
