Took the Stache for another 12 mile ride at the trail and had no noise from the bottom bracket, however the rear hub is making some creaking and if I wiggle the back wheel I can feel a small amount of play in the axle.  I've tightened the axle on three occasions, seems like it's the source of my remaining creaking problem.  Since the bike is under warranty I'm going to talk to the local Trek shop about getting a warranty replacement for the back wheel.

Any resolve to the rear wheel issue? I am having some issues with my 2017 Stache 5 rear hub and wonder what the road ahead may look like. Thanks.
