    Whyte e-mtb

    Unless you are planning to send Enter the Dragon to the moon 150mm is plenty fun enough for BPW.

    Is trail mode similar to Bosch EMTB mode?

    If you whack it up to 300% it feels just like boost but without the overrun. It is worth playing with the assistance level in smaller increments though.

    Changing headset bearings, any wiring in the way?

    It follows the SHIS standards. The ZS indicates Zero Stack (flush) 44 for the upper, 56 for the lower. 286 (28.6mm) is the steerer tube dia for the upper and 40 for the lower bearing race. Check out this link:- Standardized Headset Identification System

    Knocking sound from within the Decoy frame

    On mine it was the main battery cable clunking about in the down tube above the battery slot. There is a kind of wire frame truss above the slot which i pushed some foam through to wedge the cable which cured it.

    Direct purchase any regrets?

    Direct sell i think you just have to be prepared to box the bike up and send it back for issues to be resolved. There are exceptions for the 3rd party components like suspension where you can get warranty sorted in the UK directly with their importers. I chatted to a guy online who has been...

    Maxxis tyre casings... Exo+ vs DD

    DHR are grippy tyres, lots of folk use them on the front as well as the rear for improved braking and a more progressive transition from centre tread to the cornering blocks. Perhaps not the loose tyre you are expecting. You could maybe see if you can get the Assegai in a harder compound to go...

    Maxxis tyre casings... Exo+ vs DD

    There is a big difference in weight and wall thickness. Why not stick Assegai’s on both ends if you can get it in the construction you want?

    First service

    Focus have been really good with replacing the batteries on my bike. It didn’t have a shop service in the time before. Might be worth checking Rutland’s policy first though. There are Focus dealers dotted about so I’m sure you will find one not too far away.

    First ride...shock setup questions

    The body weight to psi recommendation is only for forks (same in the Jordi Dialed videos) and there should be a sticker on the fork also. Fox recommend a 15-20% sag which gives a much firmer ride than Rockshox equivalent. You can always give the 30% sag a go as lots of folk prefer to run like...

    First ride...shock setup questions

    You will need more air in the X2 shock. At 115kg I’m a good chunk over 300psi, 4 out of 5 spacers. General rule is to set fork by body weight as a fork is direct acting, shocks start with sag point and go from there. Body weight is not a good guide as leverage rates are different bike to bike.

    YT Decoy thread part 2

    Mine were a bit poor but have been much better since I bled them after shortening the hoses. Maybe worth a go.

    Ebike Optimized Forks Or Not

    It’s stiffer than a Yari. Big drawback is max travel of 160mm. You cannot get a longer airshaft.

    Has Maxxis Minion durability gone down the pan?????

    Got a pair of 3” Rekons you can have if you want to collect them. Only used twice then taken off.

    Has Maxxis Minion durability gone down the pan?????

    Does a shock with tokens in it have a similar sag point to one without at the same pressure?
