    Whyte Shape.It link/shock extender

    At the risk of sounding extremely dense, I am not totally sure how to tell what setting I am in. If the brass tab is visible at the front end, does that mean I am in the high position?

    Shock Mount

    Ok. looked at some photos. It's because it has a yolk / shock extender thing. If I had checked that first it would have been obvious! I'll get back in my box now.

    Shock Mount

    Ah ok. That's a new one to me! Thanks for the info.

    Shock Mount

    This is shock bushing, which is what I would expect to see on any shock mount that is not a bearing. I have no idea about the spesh, so I can't say if this is right or not. Definitely won't require a dremmel, will likely push out by hand. If not, then use a suitably sized socket and vice...

    What bars do you run?

    I like the PNW bars too. Have also got on really well with the gen 1 horizon carbon bars on my Privateer. A higher rise bar is probably the only other thing I'd like to do with the new Whyte.

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Exactly! It's rained almost every day since I got the new bike :cry:

    Magura MDR-P rotors

    I would highly recommend the galfer (the thick ones) discs. They have been superb and very reasonable compared to the HS2. Both my HS2 were bent from new!

    New Whyte E160 s 2023 owner ready to shred (try to)

    My e160 also rattles a bit. It's not bothering as it doesn't sound bad so I'm assuming it's just the motor. Cannot overstate how much I am loving this bike. I am already close to or faster than I am on my Privateer.

    Show us your Whyte bits

    It fits. It doesn't clash with the charger (I hadn't even thought of this) and it only cost 55euro and 19 effing days of waiting 😂

    How the heck did you decide what to buy?

    I test rode every bike I liked that my local shops could sell me. I really didn't want to buy an ebike online. In the end I just bought the one I liked the most on demo. I'm lucky that there are a lot of bike shops around where I live!

    [POLL] Hanging an eMTB by it's dropper post in a workshop stand?

    Not trying to be flippant but aren't you exerting far far more force on the post when you're sitting on it battering up a rocky climb?

    [POLL] Hanging an eMTB by it's dropper post in a workshop stand?

    No but in that case you'd likely have both wheels off which would make things easier. I clamp by frame in that case. As long as you're careful I think it's incredibly unlikely you'd damage the frame.

    Is c really any harder to work on than a?

    So I started to crave a 'normal' bike....

    Best to have both. I wouldn't sell my Privateer. It's amazing for uplift, holidays, munros, hike a bike etc.

    Carbon Wheel Failure!!! 😲😟😭

    So it got obliterated off a sharp rock and you're blaming the wheel? 🤣

    New Whyte e-Lyte anyone ?

    In this case the styles are generally to allow access over fences that keep in livestock. But I take your point.
