You haven't looked at the re routing for it? I found the other thread on here where someone has routed the gear cable out with the brake cable but I'm not sure if I have the skills for that.
You probably could. I can get 10mm stainless steel copex in work but its just annoying that you have to on a new bike. Why would Whyte route it that way in the first place.
I was a bit hasty to try mine out and didn't set up the suspension proper before riding. Could well of been my downfall. I'll look at the sag again as you say.
I was in touch with a company called rockguardz today and they have a skid plate for the e150 on the way. It doesn't cover the cable...
Hells bells man. In a weird way you have made me feel better that it wasn't just me!! Looks like it takes a beating before failing though? Have you looked at the routing the cable or protecting it? I've also asked Whyte for an explanation but no one is replying because of Covid-19.
