Now as we all know ebikes put more stress through components, but how long would expect wheel bearings to last (oem wheels).
Changed the sealant on my tubeless rear last night, and now there’s a sound like something rolling through the wheel, I can isolate the noise with the ear to the wheel test, but it’s either in the tyre or it’s the bearing. But the bikes only 2 months old if that with maybe 200 miles tops.
Wheel bearings or Stans race sealant balling up

@ashleydwsmith It could be one of these latex starfishes, they make a sort of rumbling noise:
