    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Not really sure on the ARD but i wasn't ready to go full on cushcore yet. Changing to the e180 from the 160 has at least made pairing up colours a bit easier. invisiframe fitment next weekend and then it's time to get up into the peaks.

    Rear coil shock on e160-rs

    So hopefully this thread was useful for other people too. Alas supplier issues have forced me to give in to the pressure of "OOH SHINY" and after having no confirmed date beyond mid november (intially was told mid oct) and delayed twice i have cancelled my order and ordered an e180 rs from a...

    Rear coil shock on e160-rs

    Thanks for the feedback. I have noticed a 180rs with a coil but i did have a nagging thought in the back of my mind that they know what they are doing when designing the frame and suspension config. Looking at the cost of the stock rear shock vs the cheap coil it is maybe just something to play...

    Rear coil shock on e160-rs

    Just a quick one, wondering if anyone has fitted a rear coil shock to the e150 or 160. I know the 180 would have been more fitting for bike parks but whilst killing time waiting around for my 160 rs to actually turn up i just wanted to see what options i have. Primarily i went with the 160...

    Suspension too fast?

    Good luck with the suspension set up, but it says you are from leeds so i would have thought a great place to try and learn jumping would be at the leeds urban bike park. Granted some of the tables are very daunting at first, there's a few little cool jumps you could practice on the red route...

    Whyte Shape.It link/shock extender

    58mm on the e-160 would be interesting to try but not having the necessary tools feels a bit of a moot point. Just to get that little bit slacker without much change in the BB.

    E180 RS rear mudguard

    I was planning on doing this sort of setup with my 160 when it finally turns up. Picked up my rear mudhugger from the courier to find it broken :(

    Hello EMTB Forum - New Member!!!

    Welcome along. In the 150/160 range there is an abusrd amount of bikes available and i doubt you will be disappointed with any of them. However the biggest thing for me was being able to sit on them and get a feel for the geometry. I ended up going for a whyte e160 rs after weighing up my...

    To go full face or not that’s the question?

    Ditto. Unless it is very warm i've found it suprisingly comfortable to wear and personally i feel a lot safer with it on. The added benefit being since buying it i have been to some parks that require a full face. Initially i was put off by the cost but the wife made a very compelling argument...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    garmin 530, front & rear mudguards, some yellow grips. Could do with my bike actually turning up :D The old giant anthem is probably going to die this weekend at farmer john's.

    Show us your Whyte bits

    So my bike shop's supplier finally have stock of the bike so i might yet get it this month. It's getting invisiframed and tubeless before i pick it up as i'd rather wait a bit longer and have it 100% ready to go. But the biggest dilemma (slightly sarcastically) i have is trying to find anything...

    Show us your Whyte bits

    this thread makes me sad. i got an email saying the supplier has a week delay on the order so it's likely i won't get my 160 rs until november. i'm just so desperate to get out on it already :ROFLMAO:

    Newbie here from the east midlands

    I am not aware of any of the off piste offerings that sherwood pines has. I have probably accidently run through some of it trying to find my way through vicar water to the bottom of the downhill section. Normally i just park in the main car park with a season pass. I would like to be making a...

    Newbie here from the east midlands

    Hi all, nearing middle aged scottish guy living in the east midlands who has finally found himself at these forums after doing a lot of research and watching videos trying to decide what bike to get. A year ago i picked up a used giant anthem which took me from tentatively doing the kitchener...
