Good knowledge - thanks.
My friend solved the issue by returning the bike to Sonder. Whilst nerds on a bike forum will get that this is an issue, someone not so technically minded might experience the joy of a snapped steerer. They should all be recalled in my view.

This sounds much reassuring and made me consider Sonder again.
How do you rate its geometry for road riding? I know it's quite dirt orientated, but would like to use it for a lot of road miles as well, currently riding Sutra LTD with 445 mmchainstays, 80 mm stem and 71 HA and is fine generally (not the most agile of course), wondering if even shorter stem with 69 HA will not be too cumbersome on tarmac.

Get to a motorcycleshop and buy a sheet of carbon anti scratch that they put on tanks and rub spots . Far cheaper than the tidly cycle patches available .
