Yeh, BS from Haibike. There's too many independent reports of the same fault to not be a design/factory fault.even the guy at the lbs said he has a nduro and checks his every ride as will come lose over ruff terrain.
bit rubbish if you ask me like saying my wheel falls of my car but the dealer says just check the bolts every time you drive it.
But this should really be attended to satisfactorily at dealer/shop level, ideally when they receive their PDI.
E- must do better.

its only the xduro and nduro that has this problem as far as i can see, just hope some lock tight will keep it in place but the speed i go i doubt it will hold for very long.
the design fault is they never put a hole inside the bolt for a cable tie pmsl

Don't see why Blue loctite wouldn't hold... My rides normally involve some steep, very rough and rocky terrain and after applying loctite (Blue) have not had another problem. Also pay heed to EddiePJ 's advice about regular maintenance it would only take a few seconds to check the bolts on a regular basis! Problem solved, I happy bike rider
It gives dongle a whole new meaning..
I can just see SW on this sneaking up on his fishermen freinds... lol

I hope adrenalineatv do well. There is a definite need for a Haibike supplier to stock spare parts that are for sale to anybody who needs them... Unlike eBikeshop who really needs to consider his restrictive policy.https://www.adrenalinatv.co.uk/haibikes/components/

Aching like hell after yesterday evenings organised bike shop ride. It was only about 13 miles of riding, but boy did my knee joints hurt last night, and my finger joints are still hurting even now.
As expected the lad that was out for last nights ride, pushed me way beyond my comfort zone, and I reckon that I learnt more in those couple of hours of riding, than I have learnt in the last three years.
I found myself launching down stuff that I had previously either walked down, or chosen to avoid, and traveling faster than I have ever travelled along some of the very narrow and technical single track stuff. Several times I had visions of whacking the side of trees with my shoulder and dislocating it at the same time, but out of the seven of us that went out last night, only myself and the lad that I ride with regularly, were the only two not to have a mishap.
The other riders were super fast at down hill stuff, but thankfully for us, not so sharp on the technical slow single track stuff that, that we spend three nights a week riding.
I've always shunned away from riding with the mate that took the ride, knowing that as he owns his own DH course/centre, raced against our very own Col (which I didn't know) and amongst many other race events has completed the mega avalanche a few times, and is a complete loon on and off a bike.
He was still a loon on and off the bike, but certainly gave me heaps of advice and tips, both about riding technique and also in respect of the bike itself.
Definitely not a wasted evening, but I'm not so sure that a suggestion that he made of entering me in a forth coming novice gravity enduro race on the pedal mtb hardtail was such a bright idea though.
I might be trying the course one evening next week though, just to make my own mind up!
