Whilst cleaning all the dead bugs out of all the nooks and crannies I noticed that the wiring to the auxillary is secured with a number of P clips to the crash bars. The wiring is easily pulled out of the clips and had done. On closer inspection of the P clip there is a plastic gate which stops the wire going fully into the clip Ideally the wire would be behind the gate but there seems to be no way to do this without potentially stretching or breaking the clip. The gate sort of clamps the wire but not particularly well and the wire is easily dislodged.
Whilst not a big issue and a slack handful of tie wraps would sort out the problem the OCD in me is ruffled :blast

Anyone else noticed the same issue?
 
Yep, in fact I noticed last week that the p clips have failed on my eight week old GSA. Looks like they've been forced into the hole in the frame a bit too enthusiastically, and now they won't stay in at all. Perhaps I should reject the bike! :D
