PSA: Crew Hubs
Maybe my bike is the only one, but also maybe this will help somebody else. If you're riding a Crew bike and you notice substantial freewheel wobble and uneven chain tension accompanied by intermittent brake pad contact on both sides even when you've verified the wheel is pretty precisely true and it's straight in the frame, check your hubs. This is my rear hub off a bike that's just a couple months old. Initially I thought the freewheel might be cross-threaded on the hub. So, I already replaced it and, during that install, the lead tech at my shop said "wow, I've never seen a hub made like that". At that point, I decided I'd better go ahead and order some replacements. Rebuilt wheels today and I'll post some pictures of that tomorrow. This is a part of the bike that comes preassembled. So, I don't think this is some rookie error that I made. I didn't try to have it warrantied because there were other hubs I wanted anyway, but keep an eye out. This seems like it could be pretty serious if it were to fail badly while you're on the bike.
