Two years on Well my £3.3k Whyte e150S is now two years old and out of warranty. 3,300 miles utterly fun packed miles. (£1 a mile, so far ;)) Warranty Issues - NONE ✅ Breakdowns - NONE ✅ Faults - NONE ✅ Issues - NONE ✅ Upgrades. Original rear shifter cable...

Come on, admit it, we have all probably paid willingly through the nose for not a lot, in pursuit of our pleasures (Or ripped off depending on your perspective). Let's name and shame, and share our embarrassment in falling for them. Here is my maddest moment. Striving to clean up the cockpit...

How good was that. He was so confident he had the Union Jack planned to cross the line. Not bad for a roadie

Spotted this, marked as SOLD.

Sadly read that Sabine Schmitz lost out to cancer today at the tender age of 51. Sabine was a serious talent. She will be remembered by most in the UK, appearing alongside three clowns on a children’s light entertainment programme called Top Gear. Many though, will remember her for her true...

My Whyte E-150 S is one year old today 2500 miles 2500 smiles Problems... zero

Apologies now, if this has been done before. Leading on from another thread, Gary made an interesting (and IMO valid) observation, rider or cyclist? Come on guys, a challenge and be honest, how do you "perceive" yourself as a rider? Some guys are true legends, we have all seen them in videos...

Spanner icon popped up on my Purion display when it passed 2,000 miles. I have read that there are no serviceable items on the motor, and this is a dealer £££ setting. Presumably to sell you service or a new bike. They will no doubt call it "Duty of care" Anyway the bike is now on 2,300 miles...

2200 off-road miles on my Whyte, and disappointingly, the third SRAM XG-1150 cassette is done. So in that nine months and 2200 miles 3 cassettes £300 4 chains £50 1 chainring £25 2 rear tyres £100 1 front tyre £50 4 pairs brake pads £50 Total £575 So 0.26p/mile, or £8 to £10 per average ride...

In this age of mediocrity that we live in, it is so refreshing to see a tiny glimmer of relief in pioneering science. SpaceX and Elon's gang as well as NASA, and other countries doing their thing. First test flight of Starship just ultimately failed. (Which, true to form is the only bit the...

Does anyone do a quick release, demountable, but robust front mudguard? I ask, because I transport my 25kg bike in the back of my estate car. I remove the front wheel and turn the forks 90 degrees, to get it in. It is easy and convenient. Only downside (apart from the mud) this leaves the...

I love road cycling almost as much as eMTB. And love pro cycling. Anyone else ? Tour de France starts this weekend. All the restrictions mean there is very little form going into the race. Anything could happen. Can anyone stop Primoz Roglich. Egan Bernal ??? I will take a wild punt on...

See RockShox thread in General section regarding upgrading to 2021 Debonair Air Spring. My fork is well overdue a lower leg service, now well over 100 hrs, but not a concern (I think 50 hrs is over the top). Gearing up to do it at the weekend if raining. New SKF low friction seals etc. But the...

Here is my third and hopefully final shifter cable re-route on my 2020 E-150. The original route exiting the motor casing below bottom bracket was way too vulnerable. The first re-route, using the same hole as the brake hose was too restricted on my frame, not happy. The second re-route via a...

Don't you just love marketing? And it is not just the manufacturers hype, in faithful fashion the media laps it up, and in turn, so do us punters. To quote EMBN show "Whyte have announced the arrival of the all-new E-160 with it's fresh new geometry". Got me intrigued :unsure: Here is a...

Really pee'd off. :mad: Having worn the original SRAM 11 speed chain and cassette out in 750 miles (about 8 weeks), I put it down to not checking chain and more hard riding than cleaning. Since then I have been mechanically sympathetic and cleaned the bike and drivetrain meticulously after...

A Whyte E-150 out in it's natural habitat in North Yorkshire, UK, yet to see a breeding pair. I hadn't scrolled down beyond "other manufacturers", didn't know all this existed...

Loads of great random pictures of folks bikes leant on stuff or just great scenery. Is there a place for "Picture of the Day" Can be your e-bike or the great terrain you have ridden. Only stipulation, it has to be recent. Might not be everyones cup of tea, but I love the places I ride. Can I...

Hi Just joined after ordering a Whyte E-150 S My decision was influenced by the invaluable resource of information on this forum. Thanks and can't wait. Getting back into mtb after a 12 year absence living in the flat lands. But now back in the heart of mtb paradise (providing you like the...
