• My enjoyment has not been without incident though. First, I managed to bend the lockring ever so slightly, so that was replaced with a dura ace one and last week it looks like the bearings in the rear hub have gone. It still rides fine but they is about 1-2mm side movement in the rear wheel, so that will need to be replaced at some point, probably sooner rather than later.

    Anyone else had any problems? I know the components are fairly shite but after 3/4 months i would have expected it to hold together a bit better.

    You shouldn't have to replace the whole rear wheel, you should be able to just replace the bearings, I'm assuming they are cartridge bearings which you should be able to pop out and replace (a bit more involved than that, search for tutorials) you should be able to see the code of the bearings if you get all the stuff out the way and then just google it. I've a feeling it will be 6000 2rs for a sealed cartridge bearing,only a few quid.
