Default Ride Wright: Problems with 21" wheel...

I've had my wheel for one year now and had two problems already. First the crush tube was a bit small and would rattle and thump and I would hear it and feel it when it was loose. Just today I found that the threaded part of the hub where the rotor mounts on was coming off. My brakes would work but the wheel would spin a bit. Has anyone had problems with their Ride Wright wheels? It sucks that I cant ride..

Yea Drew, that's what I did the first time. I took the wheel in and he had the crush tube issue fixed. I just bought the rear wheel so im kind of skeptical about the wheels now. Do they usually have these problems?

They do not usually have issues, but if they ever do they make right on them. Just give them a ring.
