    SRAM T type cassette.

    Does anyone know if anything is missing here. The T type cassette is torqued down but will just lift out probable taking the XD free hub with it. Is there a cap missing or is this normal? It works ok.

    SRAM AXS pogo pins fix

    I have had this happen on a GX AXS and a newer T type GX AXS. Mine were both replaced under warranty but SRAM diagnosed the problem instantly so I think it is a known design fault. Seems like a lot of people with the same issue.

    Spoke replacement

    2024 Whyte E160 RSX Review

    Mike I think you will find the T type chain and cassette will last a lot longer. The chain wear on mine so far is a lot better than the previous AXS.

    Drop Motor on an E160RSX

    Hi Paul Thanks for the reply. I have just run a new rear brake hose and as you managed it with a barb and routed though with the old hose. I am finding it tricky to re-clip it into the down tube though but the battery does still slide in.

    Whyte e-160 rsx rail system
