    Possible rattling battery on a 2020 e150rs

    On the pre 2023 Whyte emtbs the battery connector is at the bottom of the battery and cables that go down from the grommets in the top tube into the downtube go down to that connector. It means they need to be kept taught taking any slack out by gently pulling the cables at the grommets. This...

    Possible rattling battery on a 2020 e150rs

    if this was only soon after changing the headset bearings, they may be the source of the rattle as they displace excess grease used when installed. Easy to check for slack at the headtube with the front brake on. Other than that you really need to narrow things down a little. Is the noise there...

    E bikes stands

    I have a Park Tool stand that is a platform and the bike is held in a fork mount at one end . For a non ebike the BB sits on a sliding support with 2 prongs. I modified that support to accommodate the base of the motor on an emtb. For general post ride cleaning and lubing I use a Halfords stand...

    Whyte e-160 rsx rail system

    firstly I would think you could use a long handled brush to apply some glue to the section of rubber sleeve that has come off...then use a long piece of dowel or similar to push it onto the rail lip. In terms of removing the rail...not something I have done but I would think the only other...

    Getting "bushwhacked", shin guard recommendations?

    I just wear ski socks . They are rolled down most of the time and as such are effective at fending off peddle strikes if you are prone to them. When I can see a section of trial is overgrown with overhanding nettles/thistle or briar I pull up the socks. OK they will not stop everything but i...

    Levo Gen 3 Levo Gen 4 2024 Rumours... And assorted random chat ....

    ...not something that bothers me. I tend to be looking at the trail rather than the bars. As long as they dont break I dont mind what they look like. Function over form!!

    Kenevo Gen1 Nobody will care because it's GEN1, but Specialized still selling faulty batteries

    from what you have described the answer to making your battery waterproof is..as you say...just epoxy over those LED holes. You lose the ability to determine battery state of charge but there are other ways to be a ble to see that with different controllers/screens. The issue you are left with...

    New bike debate!

    My RSX is 2023...so XG 1275 10-50 cassette and the original SRAM AXS. The bike has covered 1000 miles. I am on the second chain and it is still less than 0.5%. Cassette and chainwheel are still fine and the AXS has been faultless. I use GX chains. The 24 RSX now has SRAM Transmission so cannot...

    New bike debate!

    I had a 2019 Levo Comp........for the last 2 years I have been riding a Whyte E160 RSX. Even with the suspension mods I did to the Levo it did not come close to the capability of the E160 RSX..........and I have done no mods to the RSX other than higher rise bars and fitting my favourite Ergon...

    Levo Gen 3 Warranty when shop goes bankruptcy?

    might have something to do with whether the bike shop is a registered Specialized dealer or not.

    Levo Gen 3 Levo Gen 4 2024 Rumours... And assorted random chat ....

    I dont see any way you merge a long 180/170 bike with 160/150 bike...........adjustable geo will not cut it. On a long travel slack head angle bike the head tube comes under enormous stress and needs to be much stronger and preferably longer with a stronger bond to the top tube/down tube...

    Bosch CX shutting off randomly

    where the confusion lies is in the type of connection. I have build offroad race cars from scratch often used in atrocious wet mud conditions. Yes you can apply dialectric grease in the top of a spark plug boot............but here is the difference.....that connection is really tight, and it is...
