Really need to see some frameset-only options for Orbea to make the cost of entry more palatable.

Caliper to axle is a lever, as is tread to axle. The ratio matters. See below: https://bikerumor.com/aasq-92-braking-force-vs-rotor-size-lever-leverage-more-hydraulic-brake-answers/

Deer, bears, snakes, rabbits, bobcats. The best sighting was a condor while driving to the trailhead. No photo unfortunately.

I don't know how it behaves. Still, I've heard that it's not ideal to endlessly trickle charge once you get to full, and you don't want to charge to full every time if your ride duration doesn't call for it.

Get an outlet timer for your charger and try to set it to get just enough charge for your ride (or to get to a storage charge level around 50-60%) and no more.

I sent some inquiries to Mondraker and got a few details that may help anyone make an informed decision: Seatpost maximum insertion depth: Size S: 176mm Size M: 216mm Size L: 248mm Size XL: 282mm Also, per Mondraker support, "The bike is not intended to be used with rotors larger than 200mm"...

Only on XL. Medium gets 150.

150mm seatpost drop on an enduro bike with 170/180mm travel doesn't sound right to me.

R2-Bike has a tempting deal on a Neat frameset if I could find a way to get it in the US without getting tagged with VAT: MONDRAKER Frame 29" Neat Carbon RR SL | Carrera Blue, 7.056,30 € The issue is they won't ship to the US (most likely manufacturer imposed restrictions), Mondraker refuses to...

Anyone figured out how to see the individual charge levels of the main / extender battery on an SL bike without pulling out the phone and using the old app? I can't find any display option that does it on the TCU display itself, and I don't think the LEV+ ANT feature transmits that information...

Love my Etrack 23. Carrying a spare range extender is important for big days on the Kenevo SL. I just wish the cargo area was expandable. Space gets tight really fast when you toss in a battery and need to store extra layers for dry changes of clothes and/or changing temperatures.

I just skimmed the discussion so maybe I missed something, but it sounds like there’s too much load getting into the hub bearings.

Unfortunately it isn't compatible with T-type chains. I ended up going with a 104 BCD spider replacement and Wolftooth chainring and bolts.

Has anyone retrofitted SRAM Transmission to their Kenevo SL? It's very difficult to find a suitable 94BCD chainring. Garbaruk seems to be an option, but the shipping alone is nearly $32.

This raises a question - if the T-type drivetrain is so good under load, is AXS Multishift back on the table for eMTBs with T-type drivetrains?

Interesting. I've been running 220mm HS2s and TRP DH-R Evos on a couple bikes at Mammoth Mountain and weigh at least as much. They tend to scrub a bit when hot, so certainly some warping is involved, but I never experienced anything dramatic. I wasn't exactly looking at the rotors spin during my...

As I mentioned above, the only thing I witnessed firsthand was Chino Hills State Park. Otherwise, it's my impression from reading posts on Facebook, Pinkbike, and MTBR.

The Orange County area is pretty notorious for ticketing e-bike riders. Secondhand information though since I rarely ride in the area. I've seen the staff at Chino Hills State Park* shouting at anybody riding anything e-powered. *yes, not strictly OC

For those who've upgraded rear shocks on the KSL, did you need to buy bushings? If so, what dimensions?

I managed to hit up the Orbea demo day in San Clemente yesterday and tried out a 23 Wild and a (prior year) Carbon Rise. IMHO the Wild really took a step in the right direction with weight, fit, and balance. At 175cm, last gen's S/M was too small and the large was roomy enough but a bit on the...
