Equipment recommendation

Sputniks are strong and very similar in build/materials to chukkas (with the obvious profile difference)... could it have been the wheel build?

Also, Chukka eyelets are crap, when are they going to re-enforce them edges (running shorter spokes on a Chukka solves this as the nipples will break instead of destroying the rim over time), I'd still rather run Chukkas, but Sputniks are ace for the money.

i can't explain it, the wheel build was good, it was more a feeling and that i hate the bent all the time.
i don't had bents so often on the old polobike with the deep-v, so i hope that the chuckers are better (for me).
