That noise the SES makes drives me mad. Its the only downside to the Haibike full suss Bosch bikes. Copious amounts of wet lube seems the only way to keep the noise down. Steep climbs are the worst in the low gears because of the greater offset of the chain line. Tried making a small chain guard for the SES out of an inner tube rubber to see if it contained the noise. It didn’t work. Would be interested if anyone has found a solution to this. If they made the sprocket out of hard rubber rather than aluminium it may be quieter but probably would wear out quicker.

I have an old DH bike which has good forks (2010 Boxxer world cup) and rear shock (DHX5.0) which I'm not using so much. Fed up of pushing up or traveling 3 hrs for uplift. Just thought it would improve the suspension and give the bike more of a downhill bike feel to it for riding my local DH tracks.

Anyone know whether the Haibike xduro nduro RX 2015 has the frame strength to take a double crown 200mm DH fork?

Thanks for the suggestions. For anyone interested, I think its sorted. I have not had a problem after doing the following: Clean the electrical contact cluster on the battery mount with electrical contact cleaner (Halfords) after every ride. Placed a thin o ring around the electrical contact cluster on the battery mount. This keeps the water away from the contacts with the battery installed. Strap the battery to the frame to stop it moving about when riding. I have kept the Nyon display.

The bike is a Haibike Xduro Nduro RX 2015 with the Bosch Performance line motor and Nyon display and it keeps just turning itself off when I'm out riding. Once turned on again the bike works OK until the next time it turns itself off. Owned the bike for about 10 months from new. First few months were trouble free but then this problem started to develop. Local dealer cannot find a fault and importer (Raleigh) just recommends resetting fault codes in the system. Seems to be better when this is done but problem persists. Anyone out there had a similar problem who may be able to offer some advise? There are a few things I think it may be: Battery terminal wetness. It seems to be worse on wet rides. Some times its seems to be associated with rocky descents. Thought it might be battery or Nyon display movement. Nyon display which has parted company with the holder on a few occasions during crashes. It may be damaged. I am planning to switch to the simpler Intuvia display Nyon display has software issues. Any advice would be appreciated.
