Show us your Whyte bits

[Hobo Mikey]

Let’s get a good selection of Whyte bikes going on this thread. Show us what Whyte you have. This is mine 2020 Whyte E150RS

 

[MadsB]

Here’s mine, E150S in the woods yesterday

 

[Kilham5]

My Whyte 150-S, now with 2021 Gen4 85Nm firmware upgrade and rerouted gear cable.
Oh, and 1,400 bloody epic miles since late March. It just gets better and better.

 

[Giff]

Hi kilham 5 Did you re-rout the cable or a dealer. Are they completely hidden now. I really like this bike but the exposed cable put me off. Some of the access trails I ride on are a bit overgrown at the moment and there are lots of grassy and brambly bits and I'm sure there would be an issue as the cables are now. G.

Haha, that's quality ????

Looks like the Whyte is propping the stone up. What a beast.

Here's mine on its maiden voyage...a few weeks ago. 230 miles on the clock now and loving it!

 

[Sam E180]

Oh go on then ?
Here’s my monster truck ?
Looking out toward Mam Tor - the ride that killed my rear wheel.

Halfway down Cut gate - my local and favourite trail. I’ve got the E-Kom for this trail, mostly thanks to the bike being a complete hooligan.

Guess the military significance??

Mmmmm colour coordinated rimmage ?

Muddy pines mess about

A few subtle changes to standard.
Hope carbon bars - I find these really take the sting out of Peak District rocks.

600lb spring - sag now at 20% and I appear to have cured pedal strikes ?

Hope fortus 30 wheels after killing original set in said Peak District loony descents. Also fitted procore to each end - I may now have the heaviest wheel/tyre combo known to man but it takes the abuse I give it at 90kg and 25psi. No point having a motor and saving weight on wheels on a bike like this ?

I ran a DD minion SS on the back for the beginning of lockdown “no gnar”, the assegai is back on now and looking like it needs replacing pretty soon.

No idea what I’ll replace this with. Maybe the new 160rs with a coil rear.

The bike is a beast, it can happily pootle around an 80km XC ride then the following day flat out down natural madness. It’s happiest encouraging me to go as fast as humanly possible down steep off piste stuff.

I’ve had the software update, first impressions are really good. Will be back out on it again tomorrow!

Still hoping to join in some rides with local folk ??? open offer to show anyone round some Peak routes if they need pointing in right direction.

Need a clue there mate, where's that??

 

[Sam E180]

That’s the one ???
A stones throw from some of the best riding in England.

This demo E-150 RS convinced me to order one. Never grinned so much on a ride. So an E-160 S should be arriving soon. Can't wait!

 

[N9VNS]

There she is looking pretty. Picking it up in 2 days, could have had it today but I’m in no rush due to my injury so they’re going to fit tubeless on it ready for me and I’ll go collect it on Thursday.

 

[Hobo Mikey]

Come on guys and gals, there must be more of us out there with Whyte bikes, post a pic of your Whyte here.

 

[jamesgarbett]

Here's mine at High Cup Nick

 

[Doomanic]

I'm disappointed. From the thread title I thought you were looking for pics of post holiday tan lines. Where am I supposed to post a pic of my bum now eh? Eh?

A play on words.

Hi, Whyte E150 RS at Grizedale Red Trail, usually found in Epping Forest.

 

[highpeakrider]

E-160S, first ride I've only done 16 miles on it.

 

[ERambo]

This is my new E160RS arriving home last week. first ride was midweek 19 miles in 1 1/2 hours. My face was sore from grinning all the way round.

 

[Beezerk]

Off to Bellingham with the football lads for a massive overnight piss up but I got to Wylam a bit early ?

 

[Hobo Mikey]

Another day another photo of Whyte bits.

It's here ??? No chance to go out yet, just got home, dark and tipping it down. Saddle and grips to sort tomorrow then I'm out...

 

[Okesy2001uk]

Pic from 3 shires head on my first e-160 ride last weekend. Love the thing!
I’ve now put some mavic E-deemax wheels on, procore and michellin e-wild tyres after exploding the stock rear tyre at the end of the ride - much better!

Planning to install my magura MT7’s, put a charger 2.1 in the Zeb and up to 170mm. Also have a super deluxe ultimate booked in a J-tech for custom tuning - hope a water bottle still fits when it’s in.

Be interested in what you do to your Zeb. Mine seems to hold itself up in its travel a bit too much at the moment, seems reluctant to get moving on the smaller, repeated hits like small ruts. I'll play with pressure and service the lowers before I start upgrading I think.

Oh, and the TransX dropper lever has got to go IMO! Stiff and can't get it positioned quite right. I have a Loam I'll stick on.

Don’t mind them as they are to be fair, better than the lyrik is stock. I also have a vorsprund secus I can fit when the footstuds are in stock from my old fox - that will be a gamechanger for the small bump, it was on my 36.

Does anyone bother with a spare battery? Its a big cost for occasional use.
I often go away for a night in my van and ride on consecutive days. Would be nice to be able to charge when off-grid but I think it would completely drain my leisure battery! Does anyone do similar? I could stay at camp sites with hookup instead but that takes away loads of flexibility.

I've a 180ah battery in my van and this allows me to charge my bike once off grid and still power lights, laptops etc. This is with a shimano 504wh system which uses 180w at peak

Mine’s only 110ah so I’d never power my fridge charging. 625 battery
