Well this turned up....

[flash]

Ordered two weeks ago. Estimated delivery for late May. Picked up this afternoon. Ride tomorrow.

I don't know if I'll keep or sell my 2019 e160-900. It'll be interesting to see how it differs with the bigger battery and EP8. More importantly, do I upgrade to AXS? The spaghetti cables aren't pretty.

Getting cables tidy and not rubbing is a bit of an art form
Some LBS are awesome some terrible
Makes a big difference for me

Thanks. It's more how the cables are run through the frame. Looks like a US/Euro set up with a brake lever swap. In Oz rear brake is on the left. What I have is rear brake running down left side of headtube and dropper cable running down the right. Both from left side of the handle bar. Makes it impossible to cable tie neatly (they actually give you a heap of proper cable tidies but you can't use them) and looks pretty average. Going to have to drop the motor to sort it out. Also hose are really long. 1st world problems... A couple of hours on a work stand next week and I'll get it sorted out. Likely It'll have an AXS dropper on it by the weekend anyway.

Also, If I want to remove the light I need to drop the motor and detach the cable. It'd be really nice if the cable could have been detached at the actual light as well so you could clip it off if you wanted to without a full uninstall. I doubt I'll ever use it so it'll probably go as well.

Just the little things that you run into on a new bike. Certainly not deal breakers.

Well, the pedals are on, tubes are out and battery charged. Time to see how this thing feels compared to the old one.

You’re right about the little things, you don’t notice them when you’re at full chat out on the trails......enjoy ?
