    Decoy E010 - He's Dead Jim!

    It finally happened. The trusty old Decoy finally gave up after 5500km of more or less trouble free operation. Approx. 8 months out of warranty, I expected a large repair bill. Lucky for me, I took it down to my local-ish Shimano Centre and they got in touch with Madison (UK Shimano disty) and...

    New E-180S Owner Question

    Hi all, I've just become the proud owner of an E-180S. Previously had a YT Decoy and I'm just getting used to the mechanical differences between the two bikes. A question I had, on this 2023 model E-180S; there are two small hex bolts on the underside of the downtube quite close to the headset...

    Eagle PG1230 NX Eagle 3rd cog bent / Stiffer 12x cassette EMTB specced

    Old thread but thought I'd chip in. Just bought a Whyte E-180S with a Bosch/SRAM drivetrain. It has an NX 12 speed casstte, and on only my second ride after about 30 miles of total riding on this new bike I also had the third sprocket bend in the way you described; banana shaped between two...

    Is my E8000 about to explode?

    It's weird because I've recently put on a new chain. I took it to my local bike shop today to get a 2nd opinion, and before I did I put the old chain, old cassette etc back on and when I got to the shop it wouldn't make the noise... now I'm thinking the out-of-sync thing could be it. The only...

    Is my E8000 about to explode?

    I did have aftermarket alumnium jockey wheels on, but replaced them for the stock Shimano plastic ones and it still makes the same noise.

    Is my E8000 about to explode?

    Hi, looking for some opinions on this. Last couple of rides I started noticing a weird noise. The bike is a YT Decoy Shred 2020 which I've had from new since end of July 2021 (2 years, 3 months). Easiest way to explain the noise is through this video I recorded last night. The noise only seems...

    Hi all. Just joined the forum. Have been riding a YT Decoy Shred since around August 2021. Not that anyone asked, but there are a few things I've learned (other than I suck at MTB) which others might find useful in terms of maintenance and issues etc. Problems I've had: Issue...

    YT Decoy Shred Noob of 1 year

    Hi all, just joined the forums so thought I'd do an intro. Dipped in and out of MTB since I was a kid, but took it up seriously just over a year ago. Had a Vitus Nucleus hard-tail first and then began looking for a full sus. I figured if I was going to spend thousands of pounds on a bike I...
