Coming back from unbound I was doing a full tear down of my bike getting it ready to ride again and I noticed the pulley wheels were not spinning once I finished washing the bike.

I started to take it apart and was shocked to find out they have been eating through the housing. This is a brand new sram force XPLR AXS setup and has less than 200 miles on it.

It seems like the wheels were made with excessive plastic around where the metal washers sit into the bearings. Instead of the metal coming in contact with the housing the actual wheel was the first to make contact with the housing. So instead of spinning freely the wheel has been grinding against the cage cutting a deep groove on both sides.

I assume this is an easy Warranty claim to get a new one but it’s still very disappointing to see the quality of parts they let out of the factory and put on a very expensive bike. Reaching out to the shop to have this sorted asap.

I originally had a Argon18 dark matter on order but the local shop got word from their argon rep who said they pushed the delivery date to July. The shop gave me information about the sarana a full month before factor planned to announce it so I had to keep my mouth sealed about its release for a while. Put in an order for the first shipment and she came in this morning.

Bags are temporary. The ones that are pictured with the bike on factors website are delayed from manufacturing so those will be in late, I got some bags to hold me over for the race

Hi I need some help figuring out how to wire in a 12v dc outlet into my setup for a fridge. Originally I had thought I needed to go through the inverter but clearly that’s not the case because having that running non stop wouldn’t work. So I was thinking the fuse block but I’m not entirely sure on that. Any help would be greatly appreciated
