I really wanted an RSX but couldnt stump the extra coin.....so I bought the S and plan to replace the parts for RSX-esque ones as they fail. THat said, I have already changed a few bits: Brakes - Had some Hope Tech 3 E4s on my S150 so swapped over Saddle - The stock saddle was horrific for me...

Downer 😱

You could always mount the shock backwards.!?

@militantmandy further feedback on the Charger 3 damper? I am considering the upgrade as I want something more 'plush' than it is now....is that a good option? Thanks

Seems a lighter press, more adjustable (position, bite point) and a more erganomic shape (IMO).....so far so good :) No they arent cheap.....but they are Hope (and look awesome :cool:)

In the process of converting my e160 S into a bespoke e160 RSX.....so this phase is the rear shock (Float X Perf Elite). Also, swapped the dropper lever out as the stock Whyte is not good for me.....also got the pistons on the Hope E3's upgraded to the latest iteration.....

Got a pic of that?

I found the same thing, but my local bike shop said that they can get the correct size (I've gone for the Float X Performance Elite). They then clarified this be mentioning that its initially a larger shock that gets 'shortened' (dont know how...hacksaw!? :ROFLMAO:) to fit. For reference, I...

@Rob Rides EMTB You ever done any tests on shocks mounted 'backwards'?

Any reason to not mount it 'backwards'?

Best of luck mate. Having had both (well, DVT's rather than PE), I can see neither are pleasant....espcially not injections into your stomach!! What I can say, I have not had pneumonia again, and my DVT situation has been well managed since 2012, so all is not lost!! Get well soon ;)

That's what I thought, just wanted to check. I demo'd an RSX in march and loved the rest shock feel.... So thinking of upgrading my e160s to the Float X 😁

Whyte E160 RSX owners, what size is the Float X Performance Elite rear shock please?

I bought an e160 s after demo'ing the Whyte and a Cratfy at Wheelbase in MArch. Main reason was the Whyte felt more balanced whereas the Crafy felt a little 'front heavy'.....

Just making use of what I already had. Will look again at the Cascade,....

Can't remember the brand, but they included straps with the holder. This was my first (poor) attempt, I have since moved it closer to the seat tube and it seems to work ok. This is just for when I'm having a quick local spin out ... Still use the bladder for proper rides

How's the megneg working out for you?

No worries. It's a bit odd really, cos when I stand the e160 (XL) next to my s150 (l), they are basically the same size

I'm a touch under 6'2, and have had 2 previous Whyte bikes in size large. I demo'd an RSX in large and it felt small, so when I ordered my S, I got an XL and it's a great fit (for me at least). Hope this helps....
