I’m the tool that started the thread, I was young and stupid and in need of the money....
Now a few months and a lot of asstime later I do understand the pros of a proper handling bike. It was a steep learningcurve and some pins off me pedals, just simply a different feel from my acoustic bike...
Anyone suffer from low BB? I’ve got the 180 rs and allthough I knew about the low BB and taking it in to concideration when riding, it still feels kind of low. Are there any tricks or trades among whyte-riders to raise the bike?
All be it, the bike is great! Can not give enough praise. Well...
Finally got around to post something. Been too busy riding the 180Picture is shitty, it started pouring down and I escaped in an aquaduct.
LBS also rerouted the shiftercable on my bike so it comer out the back with the brakehose. I’ve already had some BB touches so the cable would’ve been...
Got the bike. It’s raining so only took it for a short spin. Feels great tho.
Cables or cable rather is rerouted and coming out the back of the bottombracket, same sesl asthe breakhose. On the bottom of the BB just an empty seal. Looks and seems legit.
Fucking finally, made up my mind after weeks of going back and fourth, ordered a e 180 rs.
Taking delivery in a week plus, LBS re-routing the shifter cable inside the BB.

On the positive side it is a mullet and all Shimano.
I’m also under the...
Thanks guys,
Having kind of a first world problem deciding at the moment since I tested the Whyte 180 and the KTM Macina Prowler back to back. Maybe should stop reading the forums with people posting all problems and just go for it.
I agree, also in my opinion the e mtb goes to waist riding cross country. I might be wrong since I'm new in the game. If I want to go for a monotone ride I take out me road bike and lycra.;)
Hazarding a guess that will stir it up somehow, the margins are very small between these top their bikes that cost north of 5k. It is probably very much down to how that particular bike suits you.
If I could make a wish I would like a coil on the back and 170 on the front with the Levo geo and...
