Six weeks off the bike with a separated shoulder 🤕 so good to get back out this week. Then I came off and landed on the same shoulder again 🤦🏻‍♂️ Seems OK though, bit sore today but will be back out later this week. Maybe the front tyre with 3,000 miles on it doesn't help, twice now it's washed...

Does the Bosch/Kiox have incident detection yet? I had a big accident a few weeks ago, and incident detection is my new 'must-have' feature. I wear both a smartwatch and use a Garmin Edge, but only the Garmin triggered and alerted my emergency contacts of the incident and sent them my GPS...

Looks great. Did it get the Raceface bars and stem? I noticed some confusion on those too - Whyte website says just the usual Whyte branded ones, reviews keep talking about RF ones.

I was thinking about the prices on my ride today on my v1 E160 S. I understand inflation, market forces etc. but I couldn't afford the same bike today I bought a couple of years ago. Around £5k is still my price point (prob less now with the cost of living). Good thing I like the v1 so much 🙂

Matt black options too if you prefer it stealthy. MX ones are mullets, 27.5 wheels for S and XS.

Yeah, 4.4kg, 625 is 3.5kg. If Whyte is sticking with alu, not sure where else they can lose weight. DT wheels, Fox susp, GX transmission, RF bars/stem, crank bros dropper, all standard FF kit.

Looking like you can pick the wheel size. There was also mullet 160S and RS bikes at that launch event. Option of Hope wheels too.

I dunno. Isn't it inflation, market forces, plus the V3 has the bigger battery assuming the rest of the spec is equivalent? V1 £5,400 V2 £5,999 (+11%) V3 £6,800 (+13%)

Promo vid here. Having the battery on rails is an improvement. 29er now, has the Bosch smarts, bigger battery and beefed up headtube prob means more weight (although you could swap in different batteries).

So from those pics do we think no more 150, 160 is now 29er and is that a mullet 180? AXS mech on the RS ones?

I noticed that earlier in the week. Seems to be the dimensions of the pic rather than the file size - perhaps a new limit has been enabled. Local hills this morning (uploaded no issues but it's from my lower res 'biking phone')

2 years old in a couple of months, 2k miles, no major issue, they are great bikes. Still on my original SX/GX transmission 👍🏻I bought replacement GX chains/NX cassette/chainring a while back ready for when the shifting gets sloppy, but not needed it yet. Mech is pretty beaten up as it drags...

No Bosch displays on those I notice, unless they're hidden them somewhere clever.

I tried those Uberbike pads as they were easier to get than SRAM ones. Didn't get on with them, noisy and faded quickly so back with SRAM.

Valve cores can get bunged up with sealant, you think they're fully closed but slowly leak. You can pop them out and brush off all the dry sealant. Or buy new ones.

It's a WTB Verdict that came on the bike. I like them, loads of grip in dirt, I still have one on the front.

Been through a few rear tyres since that pic 🙂

I just use the Tiles for keys and luggage. I think they had their say at US Congress and raised antitrust concerns, but Tile have since been sold off to another company (with a bad rep for selling off location data), and Apple opened up access to their UWB tech so don't think it went any...

Plastic covers on my battery, so not an issue I reckon. Interested to know how well it works in that alu holder though. I use Tiles, and they don't work in metal boxes.

It comes with T25 security bolts 👍🏻 Still reckon it would be better to hide one in the battery compartment somewhere.
