    Stolen - Mondraker Crafty and Giant Defy - West Sussex

    Real shame that. Not only are you dealing with the loss itself, but knowing someone has broken in to your home/garage etc is terribly unsettling. And the fact that the cops have little to zero interest given they know the bikes are almost impossible to recover rubs salt into the wound. With cars...

    Body armour, so much choice

    I have the Leatt Aiflex Stealth, great fit, breaths well and has proven to protect on impact. I prefer to have individual elbow pads rather than integrated due to better range of movement. Really rate the fit of Leatt gear in general leatt

    SRAM Code RSC issues

    Whilst I don’t have a solution, I have the same set up (RSC, HS2) on my Whyte/RS Lyric with no issues. Also self installed. Levo/Fox issue maybe given others with the same problem?

    OUCH…..that hurt

    Mad air time. Well worth it! Hope you’re well healed now

    Whyte e160rsx vs 180rsx vs alternatives?

    Yes it’s a big layout, but with all the research you’ve done and some advice from users here, head down to your LBS and have a good chat. With the huge rise in popularity, they don’t need to “sell” you a bike in order for it to sell. Some LBS’ can’t keep up with demand. There’s no benefit to you...

    frame protection..

    You can’t go wrong with Invisiframe. Excellent stuff. Well worth the investment

    Can’t stop looking

    It gets me excited as well. It looks like a proper weapon although 180 travel is a lot of bike! I also have a 150rs and absolutely love it. Have added a few upgrades, but I don’t want to let it go. Think I’ll have it forever. Either way, I’m a Whyte man all the way

    Waterproofing your ass?

    I’m keen on your thoughts of the Deemax wheels. I’m thinking of upgrading to them

    Waterproofing your ass?

    Any 30,000mm water proofing rated pants should do the trick at keeping dry. I stumped up the cash for the Leatt 5.0 pants and they are bombproof. The Fox Defend pants only have a DWR coating, so you don’t stand any chance of keeping your butt dry from prolonged tyre spray. However, suggest you...

    2022 Winter gear.

    I’m really pleased with the The Leatt 2.0 Subzero glove. Keeps my digits warm whilst also providing dexterity and good grip. Absolute winner of a glove for me

    2022 Winter gear.

    Absolutely rate my Leatt 5.0 pants from last season. They run small in size but I’ve found them to be totally waterproof. Tapered ankle with velcro straps stops water running in to the top of my equally waterproof Five Ten Gore Tex boots

    Dare I ask? Ebike specific brake pads?

    I find the eMTB Uberbike pads to be a marked improvement on all other pads I’ve tried. A bit more expensive but they wear well. And they’re blue 🤗

    First ride out on a emtb.. have a big problem

    Addictive it is! Welcome to the club. I was always an eMTB mode fan on my Bosch until I found it gave a little too much kick on the steep climbs and I struggled to keep the nose down, so I use Tour mostly now for climbs and eMTB for looping back up

    I’m Out , not only out but screwed ! 😱

    I like to draw a long bath, light a few candles, grab a stiff drink and enjoy a good soak with my Bosch powered Whyte e-150rs after every ride. A little TLC and the Bosch never misses a beat! 👌🏻

    differently one for the e-bike, Norway!

    Wayyyy too dangerous a descent for me. I’d miss the hairpin with those views!

    Consumable parts and typical lifespan

    Can’t fault Uber Bike Components e-bike sintered pads. Great value and long life

    BEWARE!

    That sucks getting a scratch on that wonderful looking paint. Did you not try securing to the seat post?

    E bike specific parts are just a gimmick?

    Another tale of survival in thongs. Jandles and flip flops take note!

    Glasses lens colours?

    I opted for the Oakley EV Advancer and their Prizm Trail Torch lens. Ideal for a sunny summer day in the forest although too dark for winter so I got a spare lens in the Prizm Low Light which I find to be perfect in overcast conditions
