Still waiting for shock. In the meantime I've been running the original deluxe. Honestly I think it feels better than the coil. I am not sure if that's because the bike just suits air better, or if I did not have the correct spring rate on the coil. I'll do some experimenting when it's back.

There are really two situations where I use it. When I'm sessioning something and I can't (or would rather not) ride up and when I'm getting the bike up the stairs at my flat. I just gently hold the saddle down which gives enough grip for the bike to glide up pretty much anything.

I've had very good results with Sprindex as well.

J-Tech have always been really helpful for me. They appear to have a new, more detailed spring calculator. https://j-techsuspension.co.uk/pages/spring-calc A progressive or not spring will depend on the kinematics of your frame I think.

Walk mode on my Whyte E160 is amazing. Never cuts out, works in any gear. Sounds like there is some issue here.

If you've got the spare time to check a display on your bars whilst riding a trail, maybe you need to speed up a bit! 🤣

It's a great site. I've bought loads of stuff from them. A bit like an organised sports based tk maxx.

I am going to ride Big Baw before it gets closed for forest work on Monday 😭 if it's greasy it will be exciting!

Warranty approved. Should have it back by the end of next week.

Now the new Boxxer is out, where are the mega run out deals on the old one!? I want one for my Privateer!

I would add to this by saying I would really recommend doing some tours with Noli or Backcountry. They will take you to trails that you can't really get to, even by e bike. Great, great days out.

Question for you Whyte e160 folks. As mentioned above, my shock has popped itself. It's been offered a loan of an air shock from a pal, but it's 60mm rather than 57.5. Pros/cons? Look like plenty of clearance.

So what would you clean with after a bleed? Will soapy water be enough?

Shop has a shock with exactly the same issue on a non yolk bike.

Looks like my deluxe will be going on. The Bomber appears to have shat itself 😭

This looks a much better solution to me. Once I have financially recovered from being on holiday, I'll give it a go.

I've been mtbing for many years and I did exactly the same. I thought "weird they changed the direction" 🤦

I've had very good results with their bearings. Every set of Tech 3 V or E 4s I've used have been absolute crap. The new ones certainly seem to have much better performance, although the reliability is still questionable based on my group of pals.

At 29 seconds. That is where a tree fell on my friend during a night ride. True story!
