    Stolen bike Bradford

    Had my 2020 Whyte E150-S stolen in Bradford last night, police are involved but I’m not holding out much hope. It’s quite a distinctive bike, gun metal grey, rear shock was upgraded to RockShox coil with a red coil fitted, 220mm Hope rotors, Spank Spike bars etc. Just putting this out there on...

    Bosch Gen 4 Service?

    Hi, long time no post. I'm considering dropping the motor off my Whyte E150 (2019) and getting it serviced while the weather is poor, it's had a weird noise for at least good year or so and I don't want to push my luck (no pun intended :LOL:). Where's best to look at for this? Does anywhere...

    Bosch Gen 4 owners.

    I need a quick favour please, what sort of noise does your motor make? I'm pretty sure mine used to make a sort of high pitched whine from new but after a very wet ride a few weeks ago I'm convinced the noise has changed, it sounds almost throaty or growly now along with the whine. The power is...

    Speed sensor on brake rotor.

    So I ordered some 220mm rotors front and back over the weekend which are getting delivered today. Late last night it dawned on me that the speed sensor is fitted to the rear rotor, I can't remember how exactly but it seems crimped on. Has anyone changed rear rotor on their Whytes, and if so was...

    Guide RE with 220mm rotors?

    I've tried searching I promise but there are so many bits of information on multiple threads, plus I've had a couple of shandies ? I'm looking at upgrading the rotors on my 2019 Whyte E150-S to 220mm, my pal has done it on his Kenevo and he loves them and I'm a touch jealous. Brakes are Guide...

    You can ring my bell!

    Never thought I'd ask this, can anyone recommend a half decent, detachable bell that doesn't make your mtb look like an old man's commuter? I'm sure everyone else is experiencing the cycle paths being absolutely chocka with families and dog walkers for the last year and I've nearly had a spaniel...

    Rear wheel play?

    I've noticed recently if I'm sat on my bike with the rear brake on, I can make the bike rock backwards and forwards by around 10mm if that makes sense? It's like there is something loose or worn where the cassette fits onto the rear hub. It is definitely the wheel that is moving independently...

    Bloody cat!

    I have a problem, a massive problem. My bike storage box is around the back of the house, it has a pebbled area in front of it which is about 3mx3m. Unfortunately our cat has decided she wants to take a dump there every night, it has literally turned into shit alley :poop: If you've seen the...

    Whyte E-150S chainring.

    Eyup, I stuck a new chain on my bike yesterday and while doing it I noticed what looked like some wear on the chainring teeth. I showed my mate later and he said it looked like it was shark finned and it needed replacing but to me the wear looked uniform all the way round and almost machined. I...

    Garden storage?

    My bike it currently stored in a large kind of larder/cupboard thing in the kitchen, it serves a purpose but it's a bit tight in there as there's also the gas boiler and other crap. We are also looking at opening out the kitchen in the near future which means losing the area my bike is in so I...

    Aaargh Bosch error code!

    I was out on a ride earlier when my bike suddenly threw up an error 504 code on the display. I was at a standstill at the time waiting for someone to go past and I didn't think much of it as it disappeared when pressed a button. When I started riding it felt almost like it was in some sort of...

    Charging a bike at Hamsterley.

    Hi, I'm off to Hamsterley with a mate for the first time on Friday and we're hoping to get a decent days riding in. Are there any shops or cafes there which are e-bike friendly? I was hoping to maybe get a spot of lunch and give the bikes a quick boost while we're there. Or is it just a case of...

    Ice 1 - EMTB 0

    Just been out for a great ride around the local area, then the very last downhill section, a bend to the right with a massive patch of thick ice I didn't spot until it was too late. Slammed down, but saying that I went down with style and commando rolled about 5 yards into some long grass...

    Recommend me a winter jacket good sirs.

    Went out for a monster ride yesterday, I wore an old golf jacket and it wasn't exactly as waterproof as it used to be :unsure:. I'm after a new waterproof/cold weather jacket but there seems to be quite a lot of choice out there. The Endura MT500 comes out tops in a lot of reviews, is it as...

    I almost got trench foot!

    Went out on my new ebike yesterday and got absolutely drenched, it was great :giggle: Anyway I got home and I was soaked head to toe and absolutely caked in mud, my shoes were that bad I had to take them into the shower (not while I was wearing them) and give them a clean down then stuck them on...

    How the heck did you decide what to buy?

    I joined here months ago, I've been lurking and reading up on all things EMTB for what seems like an age. Well D Day has finally come, my property sale has completed and funds are in my bank ready for the purchase however...my head is absolutely bloody battered. I had a few sleepless nights with...

    Newb needs some advice on bike shopping.

    Hi, newb here after a bit of advice on an EMTB I'm looking to purchase in the next few months. I'm not really a hardcore rider in fact I've only been riding for about a year but I'm lucky enough to live 1/2 mile from some woods with red and black trails so I go there with a pal usually twice a...
