• They shouldn't need striping down after that

    No, they need sending back to the retailer who sold them to you (unless you rode them through a canal a year ago and then left it until now to see how they were). What you have is a warranty issue, but probably not a set of data sufficient to malign the whole design.

  • Of course, i realise this. I have a 200k ride tomorrow so would have preferred to sort them out and use them rather than bother sending back. It is probably a stuck pawl, but as it is near impossible to remove the freehub we shall never know. I will of course be sending them back under warranty.

    Even after you get the rotor off, you won't know. The pawls/ratchet are internal to the rotor assembly, like a typical Shimano one.
