Recently bought this whyte 909

Seat a little low in this pic - was first outing and the dropper post slid down in the frame slightly where I hadn’t tightened it properly

Love it
Awesome! Looks lovely! Only thing to do is change the grips! The Whyte ones aren't the best!
 
Changing grips is something I just don't get. I wear gloves, full in winter, road mitts other times, so the grips are just there in case I forget which bit to hold onto! :rolleyes:
What's the difference between the Whyte grips and the better ones you have @RedUn ?

Its personal choice, I always change my grips and bar tape when I buy a new bike, you get used to something, they are all made of different quality compounds or design, I wear thin gloves so I can still feel the grip .

I guess it's like saying why didn't you buy a transit...

Being serious, the standard Whyte ones are really thin I felt just about every vibration through the wrists, swapped them for some ODIs I've ridden with over the years and the difference really is noticeable for such a small outlay too :cool:

Still use the bike for commuting and running errands. Also some off road . Very different feel to my 29ers.
