Well, My biggest question is on the hubs and the durability of the wheels. It rains a lot here, and I ride in the rain as a commuter. Ive heard some hubs deal with dirt ok, but add wet road grime and they dont seem to roll as far.

Have people been riding the stock hubs?

Any problems with the SORA/Tigra comps?

I'm going to use the bike for highway commuting and some light trail riding (I live on a gravel road)

Just wondering if anyone else's situation is similar and how well the bike fared.

I'm also considering the KONA JAKE, better components, triple crank, but $850. I own several bikes already, jsut want something new to add to my commute and genereal road miles.

Thanks!
