I’m glad it’s been running well for you! My perspective is “what would convince consumers to ditch their car?”, and also, “how can we avoid disposable bikes?”
So in that vein, I think that warranty needs to be stronger across the board.
And of course as I’m biking home after saying that I pop a tire, lol.
I’ll also note for completeness that the warped front wheel was mostly rideable, if a bit rough, until I got my brakes done at a shop at 1500 miles. The rotor made a lot of noise with the new pads and rapidly exacerbated the wobbliness of the wheel. The guy said he sanded down the rotor, which may have contributed to the rapid deterioration. From then on I committed to working on my bike myself. With the new wheel I’ve gotten up to 6000km with no wobbliness.

I agree!
