How many miles are on it?
How much do you weigh?
What are your road conditions?
Are you a strong and/or abusive rider or racer?

IIRC Mavic has a 2-year warranty on their K-Elites. I've managed to kill a whole bunch of rims in my 45-year career, including a few Mavics (an Aksium, a couple of Open Pro's...all cracked at the spoke holes). That is what happens to rims that get used.

dabac, would you recommend that I go through the new Elite and even up the spoke tension? ....Not sure it that would get me anything ....
On the NDS, just from plunking the spokes, it appears every other one is tight or loose. ....
I can borrow a Park spoke tension gauge....
..., or perhaps take the wheel over to my LBS wheelbuilder and have him do the job. Not sure it that would get me anything....
