Not really great a great answer on the flex but they won’t admit fault on that even though deep down they have to know they dropped the ball. I have a 150 and it’s an amazing bike. That being said with a 2.4 wt it rubs. Not a lot but enough to see that it happens almost every ride. I don’t feel the flex of the rear is detrimental or excessive. Where they messed up was just not giving more tire clearance. A 2.4/2.5 WT on a 30mm rim is what I would consider the industry standard for this class of bike. It should clear with no issues. I dig the rear ends compliance but if you’re going to build flex in as a feature you should account for it in clearance. There’s probably a good portion of riders on these bikes that don’t push them hard enough to make it rub so the complaints have been few enough for them to just dismiss it. Still it’s a rad bike and aside from that rather minor issue it’s the best bike I’ve ridden.
