I'm recanting. Don't buy them for all the white powdercoat in China.
I stripped the rear hub on my Aerorage (after 3 months of trouble-free riding) and found myself doing a nice relaxing freewheel into oncoming traffic when I should have been stopped at a junction.
Apparently the rep said that they hadn't had any returns on them yet, so obviously that's cool. No need to take defects seriously, so long as it's a new product that you've just released!
Sorry MrSmith. You were obstreperous but also completely right.
In fairness, I should add that my front wheel (also Aerorage) hasn't bent, caught fire or attempted to smother me yet.
