New to the forum, here's a photo of my 2020 Whyte E150S almost 2000 miles in, few upgrades been purchased and now waiting on a Hope Fortus 30 rear wheel.View attachment 49925

Nice bike, but you've got the tyres on the wrong way round!

Nice bike, but you've got the tyres on the wrong way round!

At one point they were the only ones I could get my hands on haha! Luckily I dont feel any differences! And the 2.8 rear feels great on the front

I’m running a Minnion DHF II on the rear and a Shorty on the front... bike rides great ? ?

Looks good. What are the SRAM parts on the rear triangle?

 

[Mr President]

I see lots of people on here running the Michelin Wild tyres. What in particular is it that people go for?

 

[Rahr85]

The e wilds were going to be the next ones I try partly because of price and partly having a front and rear specific tyre.

 

[Rahr85]

I love the snow. The jockey wheels.. They love it less

Nice ?

Just picked up my E-160 RS this afternoon, so fitted a few bits ready for a ride tomorrow. Will get a proper picture in the wild soon.

shame to get it dirty. your garage is cleaner than my kitchen!!
looks stunning. even the tyre colours match the frame and fork writing.

 

[The Hodge]

Looks good ..other than those plastic bits covering the tyres ..?
Have fun today ..??
Did you change the tyres or is that what Whyte are fitting now?..Interested in what you think of them ..

Their just SRAM chain stay protectors I found on eBay for £3.99 if I remember correctly to stop the paint from getting damaged, I seemed to be marking those areas.

 

[EebStrider]

I want to protect this area between the tyre and frame a bit more. What have you guys used?

I’ve never had an issue with that part of the frame, never had the chain come off......Personally I wouldn’t bother but you could use some 2mm thick self adhesive rubber that you can find on eBay....I used some on my Santa Cruz with good effect.
Tell you what though cover the crank arms in helli tape if our concerned about parts of the bike getting marked coz mine have took a beating from rocks and stones that have been thrown up from riding rough trails faster than I’ve ever done !!!!

I did put some 25mm drips of black Gorilla tape on the inside of the bottom chainstays and as have recent posts people have fitted a front mudguard to the rear of the bike to protect the upper and lower suspension pivot points ?

Good plan, I’ve got some Easigrip in the garage, so could stick some of that on, but thought some folk had put a plastic guard on there. I’ve got some tape coming for the crank arms tomorrow, and will also fit the SRAM caps on the end, that arrived today.

Done the same with crank arm boots ?

I used a mucky nutz front fender and cut it so as to drop below the bottom pivot point and fixed it to the top chainstay brace. I won’t take this off.
I will take the pig ugly mudhugger off if the weather gets better

Thanks mate.

Thanks mate.

Rich have a look at this thread E180 RS rear mudguard - EMTB Forums

 

[The EMF]

That’s is very similar to the mod I did to my 150 RS saves loads of crud building up down there ?

Perfect, thanks.

Not ideal but it’s all I had hanging around and its only for the winter anyway. Back part is Mudhigger and the other small bit is rear part of a front defender just slotted in the gap nicely and cable tied at top. Looks shite but then so do mudguards But does the job.

 

[The EMF]

This is my set up with the mudhugger sitting on top of the modified Mucky Nutz front fender

Cough!

 

[EebStrider]

I’ve fitted this for now, but would like to get something designed for the job, if such a thing exists?
