They say they’ve not had any reports of this before, and looking online they appear to be telling the truth, I’m taking it in to the store on Friday for them to have a look, it’s unlikely they’ll have another in store to compare it too.
If it can be swapped for one that doesn’t rub I’ll be happy as the bike rides mint, customer services suggested a smaller tyre but I don’t want to fork out my own money after 3 rides, and having a quick look around this morning there’s not a huge choice of 650b tyres under 2.2.
MBR have just tweeted to say they’re going to have a nose at their test bike too
We shall see what happens.
