    Is 25 mm more travel worth buying a new dropper?

    So in your case, a post with less travel/insertion will allow you to get the correct height when extended. If it bothers you that is. Or you can just drop the post a little bit. I'm a big fan of the adjustable travel posts from PNW etc.

    Whyte E-180s new owner

    I find on SRAM brakes I have to advance the pistons quite a bit (wheel out) to get them feeling firm enough. Don't have to do this on my Shimanos.

    Pic of the Day

    I came off near there once. Got a nice 'cookie cutter' in the stomach from my bars.

    Battery rattle ??

    Ridden both the 150 and 160 and that's not normal. You can get some motor rattle when coasting, but the battery's a snug fit. I'd take it out (useful to know how to do it anyway) and take a look.

    When u refill tyre sealant do u add water ?

    Never heard of that one. I can't imagine it would do anything to dry sealant. I just remove all the thorns and add two more scoops when it starts to lose air. Did mine yesterday. Rear was dry, full of holes and wouldn't hold air. The front was fine. Folks used to add all sorts to sealant...

    New Bosch 2022 Motor System (Bosch Smart System) Announced

    Interesting, but gone the opposite way I wanted really. I'm happy using Garmin stuff for 'smarts' and just want a minimalist controller like an EP8.

    Result ? £300 upgrade for £30. When I sent my Charger R damper off under warranty....I got the same damper back ?

    Poll: ?? ? or ? out on the single tracks?

    Always wear mine for solo rides. A podcast or radio plus you get your Garmin prompts through them. Lots of tech in them now, they dip the volume and turn the microphones on if I speak, have an ambient mode so you still hear what's going on.

    Bosch chain ring alternative

    Mine was from Team Cycles, but sold out now. This one came up on a search, never used the shop though. https://velo-store.shop/sratt030135-sprocket-sram-x-sync-2-34t-bosch-dm-black-one-size?gclid=CjwKCAjw3_KIBhA2EiwAaAAlisyZbw8L6Hjyxk6xqUxAKkPnsGNyEmI4z7vgFgRvrQlYHayMbiRbZBoCpnUQAvD_BwE

    Bosch chain ring alternative

    I managed to get all the spares for my drivetrain this week, including a 34T SRAM Bosch chainring, so they are about. Brake pads from Italy, cassette and chains from the Netherlands, and chainring from the UK ??

    how long are you drivetrain lasting

    Just under 3,000 km so far. Would be disappointed if it doesn't last another 3,000. SRAM SX/GX, rotating 3 chains.

    Whyte E-180s new owner

    Mine is in a workshop all year round. Temps vary from +40 to -15. It's been faultless. I don't charge it when the temps are high/low. On a timer so charges in the morning before a ride. The only other difference I can see with the new bikes is they come with the shape.it link which I assume...

    Chain replacement question

    Yeah with the rotating chain approach, you just keep going until shifting performance is unacceptable. No point worrying about the wear limit as you know a new chain will never work anyway, so might as well get as many miles as you can. Although I do measure it so I know when to start looking...

    Show us your Whyte bits

    Still riding the e160 most days...what a bike ??

    Daaammmnnnn!!!! That's one expensive E-Hardtail!!!

    What interests me is they have what looks likes a battery door on the hardtails so they've ditched the low-slung battery and canted motor.

    Chain replacement question

    I start with a new drivetrain + 2 spare chains. Every 250 miles chain comes off and goes in a bucket of degreaser overnight, fresh chain goes on. I do it every 250 miles so there's not too much of a gap between swaps. Very quick to swap the chains, I also degrease the cassette and chainring...

    Chain replacement question

    This is what I do. SRAM GX. At 1,250 miles now and still less than 0.5% wear (just) with perfect shifting. I rotate the chain every 250 miles, so I should get to 1,750 miles with no issues at all. Might make it to 2,500 miles even.
