Just had a cane creek rear hub with less than 500 miles on it freeze up. Bearings were literally frozen, and I felt no advance issue before the bike was literally immovable. Has anybody else ever had any problems with these wheelsets?
My LBS will stand behind the product but still a real bumber to get stranded on a long ride due to an unfixable problem on the road. Hopefully, it is an isolated problem that won't reoccur. I am doing a 150m charity ride this weekend and won't be pleased if it happens again. LBS initially spec'd them instead of Ultegra hubs as "comprable". Should I insist on Ultegras?
