Has that had its first service Plowsie? If so, that's pretty terrible... It won't be part of the PDI, the bikes go to the shops mostly built, but there's no way it should've passed a proper inspection at service... Lucky really, that could have gone very wrong...

The wheels themselves are alright, or should be when they're built right, so I wouldn't run to replace them just because of this... But if you do, then Merlin do make very good wheels, my XT/717 combo never needed so much of a tweak despite being a budget option and not massively strong.
