Web Spoke clicking issue resolved?

Has anyone heard any news about the clicking webspokes? I have them on order and am second guessing after reading about this widespread issue....
thanks

The only clicking noise I know of was a loose rubber cover on the bottom of the rear shocks that rubbed on the wheels.

No clicks here. Looks like it only happens to some, and in high heat. I've been through Death Valley at 107 and everywhere else for 7500 miles and no clicks. Love 'em.

My September 2006-spec web spokes have never clicked. I think the earlier ones did have some issues, but you should be fine now.

You sure someone didn't just clothespin a playing card to click on the spokes? Cheaper than a new exhaust system.
