Got my 160 SL going back to the shop next week for exactly this reason. Not impressed

Thanks for the reply fella, crazy busy at work at the moment but I’ll get it stripped out.

I’ve got the same model. Cracking bike for the money. It’d be interesting to hear if the headset creaks, the one on mine creaks like nobody’s business.

This’ll do until someone builds a nicer aftermarket one for the 2020 bike.

Mine fell of too. Just stuck the bugger back on. Otherwise the motor’s faultless......so far. However the cheap thin plastic “bash guard” is useless.

That’s the one. I had two delivered yesterday from Wheelbase after a rock/mech interface on Sunday. Guess which one won? Go steady though, there’s a small nylon washer to go on the screw thread. Assume it acts as a thread lock. Bit fiddly to get it started.

That’s a good job there. Unfortunately the 2020 motor and frame are completely different insofar as wrapping around the back and sides of the motor. Making a home built bash plate very difficult to make without good fabrication skills (that I don’t have). I’ve got a replacement plastic...

Smashed the plastic cover yesterday thanks to a lump of slate chucked up from the front wheel. Looked at Rockguardz but the 2020 cover is a just a little cosmetic thing that looks like a boy racer thing from Halfords. Any decent alloy bash guards out there??

Oof, a bit more than one of those £30 Amazon jobbies. I’m probably best off with the cadge a charge at the Cafe option.

With the car running it should be ok though??

Absolutely loving my new 160 cube. For a day of self uplifting, ( being close to the car) is there a car charger available for the 625 power tube battery?

That’s a bit crap. Figured I’d be going through drivetrains but that’s pretty poor. How’s the cassette? Got my bike on Saturday, very happy with it so far.

Guess which numpty had two empty co2 cartridges in his bag when his rear tyre shat itself today. A long walk followed.

I’ve not ridden the ‘19 model. I believe the 2020 is a different beast altogether. I was riding enduro descents yesterday that I couldn’t touch on my last trail bike.

Beyond the cut off it’s fine. At the cut off it’s noticeable. Just not used to climbing at that kind of speed! Went out today and blasted 35k around local trails in EMTB mode, 4500ft of climbing, two bars left. DH is brilliant, the extra weight provides so much grip and those Maguras have it...
