I too have the NCS. I've covered about 1000 miles on it and agree with those above regarding the wind etc. It's a good all rounder & build quality is good for such a budget bike.

Perhaps a way of getting a dedicated plastic grease or lubricant onto those plastic parts may help over time? If the white plastic section is breaking after a period then I'm wondering if the correct lubricant was used on it when it was assembled? Use the wrong stuff and it'll weaken the...

I too have copied this design as its the cheapest :-)
