That being said, the rear wheel on mine has been garbage. It has a non serviceable freehub that keeps getting dirt and sand into it. I know it’s a warranty part but I just have been flushing it out myself as best as I can with oil but every time I ride in the dirt, it gets junk in it again because it’s a junk part with almost zero seals. I just ordered a set of Hope Pro 4 wheels to remedy the problem.
Besides the rear wheel, the bike is absolutely fantastic. I have already done about 500 miles the past month. It transitions from road to gravel grinder without any drama. The other day I was on the road when I noticed a mountain bike singletrack loop through the woods and did it no problem.
Here’s a pic because I’m partial to how good it looks:
That sucks about your rear wheel, I'd def have them replace it and then you can keep the stockers for backup. Thankfully I haven't had any issues with mine, through wet/sand/mud/etc.. I have over 1,000 miles already, and actually ride the gravel tires most of the time. They're comfortable and ride pretty good on the road, so if I'm not looking to keep up with a fast group, I'll take the comfort and then can always venture off road if I feel like it. I figure the extra rolling resistance just gives me a better workout.
