- The quick release seat post collar was a problem right from the start. It was prone to seat post drift so I broke it trying to make it as tight as possible. I had some difficulty replacing it with a standard hex bolt collar because the closing action of the qr collar threw the seat post tube out of round and I kept mis-measuring and got the wrong size collar twice. Finally had to call Jamis to get the correct measurement and then had to force the replacement collar on with a rubber mallet and a lot of persuasion. No problems with the new Interloc collar.
- The Xero Shawla 220 wheels that came with my model have horrible spoke tension I have to true them frequently. Also, the Xero skewers both broke after just a few months. I don't think Jamis uses these wheels any more.
- The suspension seat post had about 2cm of play from side to side. Replaced with a nice Thomson setback. This along with the Interloc collar make for a very stable seat.
...And I eventually upgraded the "comfort seat" that came with it with a more comfortable WTB Laser V that's more appropriate for the type fitness riding that primarily use the bike for.
