After 4 months of waiting and 8 months without a bike, finally got my YT Wicked 160 LTD today and the stem bolts have been cross threaded! And my chainguide wont sit on right and I've been playing with the chainline for hours and it's not going to happen.
Much disappointment.

I hope it's just teething problems get the problem out of the way at the start and it'll be all plain sailing from here.
That's how bikes work right?

What was the actual advised waiting time (ie, did thy overshoot their promises or was the 4 months what they advised?)

I ordered it knowing there would be 2 1/2 month wait but then it got pushed back by 6 weeks, but if they have the bike in stock you'll get it in a week

Not a great start no!

What chain guide is it? your own?

And do you need the chain guard with the Sram X0 type 2 rear mech?
