Whyte 129 Works

Th3P

Hello all

Used to be a member but think my account must have been deleted due to inactivity.

Anyway I'm back!

I currently ride a Whyte 2011 901 that's been largely upgraded and I absolutely love the bike but I'm looking to add a full susser to my line up, I've been for a ride on the 129 works and loved the bike I wanted to see if anyone can give some feedback on them or point anything else worth a look.

I'm open to 29er or 650b please don't start a wheel war!

I'm just after some honest feedback, I also took a fancy to Norco Killer B 2 but struggling to find any, Any other bikes you suggest I organise a test ride or for up to 2.5k?

Many thanks in advance

Sorry just realised I didn't explain my typical routes/rides.

I ride locally midweek on fairly easy routes with odd blast through woods, single track for fitness.
Then weekends I make a thing of going to decent trail centre's Dalby, Lee Quarry, Yorkshire Dales, Lake District and odd routes that appear in MBUK

I've got the 129 on my short list, also looking at the Specialized Camber Evo just needs a dropper but still in your price range, worth o look/demo.

i have the t129s which i use at various trail centres and off piste for me its more than enough the reba fork is excellent as is the monarch rear shock i couldnt see the point of the works plus i dont rate the fox fork on the works .

Thanks for the responses.
Always had RS but I did prefer rear Fox when I tested that being said I'm now struggling to find any in stock!
I'll have a look at the Camber now

The works for me is more the stoppers and the evo evo, have Elixirs at the moment and seem real hit and miss going to bleed them tomorrow, I've found EBC gold with Elixir work well together

So many nice 29ers also seem to be some great bargains spec wise on Canyon site but lead times for delivery seem to be a 'good' month!!
