Seems like the wave of preorders still has not even been produced yet and a whole new wave of orders im sure is rolling in as Christmas approaches. This is just an unfortunate side effect of buying the newest new wheel on the market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven007 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I also had problem with one of the plastic bracket bearings after a few days of ride. Just minor pressure and it got broken! Does anyone know where to find the metal replacements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purchased the wheel from chicway shop in Europe, hopefully they deliver as good after-sales service as yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Bjerke Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) This looks like the saddle piece. A good local dealer will supply you with a new one (maybe) It totally possible to ride the wheel as it is now - but dont crash again - this construction could be better. I just got a new saddle piece - same under engineered construction BUT added some flimsy metal thingys on top.... We will see how it goes. V11 is a great wheel Edited November 11, 2020 by Finn Bjerke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the few weak points are those saddle bearings. Please keep updating about how the metal reinforcements help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory McDonald Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Just noticed mine is broken as well and I have never crashed it. I just got it recently. Mine has no metal on it. Just the bolt. It was in batch 3A. I reached out to my dealer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cory McDonald Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Good thing there is the two lower saddle mount bolts. Both of my upper mounts on the saddles are now broken. The upper retaining area is super weak/poor design. Way too brittle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dealer is sending the upper bracket metal reinforments, then I can do a review if they help.
