I replaced them with generic M12x1.25mm pitch flange nuts and torque washers which serve just as well as the OEM parts in spite of the new torque washers being a somewhat different style.- While the paint is perfectly good, it inevitably takes some wear over time. This was in spite of me forgetting to register my Model S for warranty purposes, proof EBC will stand behind their work and take care of their customers.Some additional notes:- I unfortunately left the torque washers and flange nuts on the rear wheel assembly when shipped for repair, and they were likely lost during the repair. I received the perfectly repaired assembly back only three days after they received it. After contacting EBC and sending them pictures by request, they requested I send the rear wheel assembly back for repair. Whether originally a defect or other issue I cannot say, as I only confirmed this after all the screws failed (the majority likely due to increased strain after initial screw failure), leaving the bicycle inoperable. My local bike shop misdiagnosed this issue as spokes on the rear wheel possibly rubbing together, which might sort itself out eventually.In fact, the screws securing the motor to the rear wheel assembly were shearing off. I began to notice a regular light groaning sound coming from the rear wheel when in motion, regardless of pedaling or the motor being engaged. It runs excellently for all forms of road as well as limited off-road travel.As for the aforementioned issue.during late spring the bicycle developed an issue I will detail here so anyone else, in the extremely unlikely event they experience this issue, may catch it early. After dealing with an issue I will detail below, it's now racked up 1,000 miles travelled as of this review, and continues to serve well. Through spring, I put over 400 miles on the Model S with no issues, commuting to work and back and occasionally carrying groceries and other light loads via a Basil Double Bag and the front basket. While I am not likely to test it in icy conditions, it ran in below freezing temperatures perfectly. Preemptive TLDR: The Model S I purchased overall proved an excellent purchase while being used as a commuter and light product carrier for 1,000 miles in six months so far, and EBC proved to absolutely stand behind their product.I received my Model S at about the very end of February, and began using it to commute around town immediately.
