    Multiple emtbs ?

    I have a Whyte e160rs for group rides and a Levo SL for solo. The Whyte gets more use but I probably get more satisfaction from riding the SL.

    Spoke tension meter

    I bought a 30 quid meter from Wiggle which works fine. I had a run on busted spokes a few months back and couldn’t face wheeling the bike to the shop each time. So far all my replaced spokes are holding up... so no complaints. LifeLine Spoke Tension Meter Spoke Tension Meter

    Is your motor getting nosier over time ?

    My Trance got noticeably noisier as the miles went on. On a Bosch now which is whisper quiet by comparison.

    Problem with giant fathom e+2 flashing red and Wight led

    That signifies a speed sensor issue. Could be the sensor, wiring or magnet. Is the magnet still attached to the spoke (assuming it has a spoke magnet... my 19 Trance did.) Probably time to get it back to the shop unfortunately.

    A what to buy post

    What sort of riding do you plan on doing on it? I’d only buy the Whyte, magnificent as it is, if the riding you do requires all that travel.

    Any recommendations on a home bike stand for my e-mtn bike.

    Just set the stand up so all the weight is on the top hook with the bottom hook acting like a guide with a slight gap beneath the cables on the lower stay. That’s what I’ve done... works well.

    Aren’t the 20 and 21 SL’s broadly the same apart from a few component changes?

    Upgrades

    Yep, they work perfectly. The R and RSC callipers are identical apart from the R having aluminium pistons whilst the RSCs are phenolic.

    Upgrades

    I put some RSC levers on mine (cos I had them), otherwise it’s stock. And that’s how it’s staying as it’s all perfectly fine.
