Grease on the side without seals is a good tip, thanks. I don't ride in the wet often but whatever it was, it was enough to get to crud in the bearings. Understood on the the headset tightness.

Not sure about that. Also, all the pre-built wheelsets are 24H. With a custom wheelset you can get however many you want. Personally I went with 32H on the 700c and 28H on the 650b for peace of mind.
