The grease even got on the spokes and rim due to the force of wheel rotation. After a thorough cleaning, more grease came out. Are these problems temporary and normal for a new S2C?
I had the same concerns when I first laced up my S2C in September of last year. Now, she is quiet and running smoothly.
