Well the rear wheel, which had been warranty replaced due to spoke breakage issues, has started to also break spokes. This from non-loaded street and trail riding, along paths that I did over 2500 miles on with 15 year old mountain and road bikes and never had any wheel related problems. I am not a heavy guy and yesterday's discovery of the breakage means that I am going to take the bike back for a refund.

While I find the bike to be comfortable, this is the 4th issue I have had between the original and the replacement wheels. I could drop a few hundred on a better set of wheels, but that seems unreasonable for a new bike. I know a $1000 MSRP bike is not going to have the best wheels, but I expect something that will work at least as good as a 15 year old set of wheels with a few thousand miles on them.
