    What short cranks are you using for the Orbea Wild.

    Just replaced e13's on my new Orbea Wild because they came loose after the 2nd ride. Also were tightened to spec with a proper torque wrench before the first ride. They continued to loosen every few rides, even after I removed them, cleaned all the parts and used Lock-Tite when they were...

    LETS SEE YOUR RIDE FOOTAGE

    I've got no problem with people chasing Strava goals, I do it myself for personal goal setting and training. I definitely click-bait titled this one, and it worked for the most part. lol Reminder: in this case I am the Stravasshole. Really, to each their own, live and let live, and all that...

    Chain lube

    I try anything and everything. This is what I've used over the past couple years. Smoove - not bad, doesn't last long though in wet conditions Squirt - pretty good stuff but messy and doesn't last more than 2 or 3 rides, wet or dry. White Lightning Clean Ride Wax - used this probably more than...

    New shoes. Continental Argotal 2.4. Hopefully they work as well as my Der Kaiser Projekts did on my acoustic bike.

    Orbea Rise - 6 bolt rotors with magnet

    I've heard the Specialized Levo 6 bolt magnet works well too and has a more powerful magnet. I have a Wild FS and used the Bosch 6 bolt when I upgraded my wheels, but had to put three washers between magnet and rotor, and also had to glue a small fridge magnet to it, to get it close enough to...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Got some Spank J-Type hubs with Stan's Flow EX3 hoops built up by the local pro wheel builder. Custom wheelsets are the best upgrades you can make for maximum payoff, in my opinion. Also replaced the OEM rotors with some lovely Shimano XT SM-RT86 203mm rotors.

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    After my OEM rear wheel went out of line for the 2nd time in 500 miles along with a few broken spokes Sunday, I shelled out a quart of blood, my left leg, and a bunch of dollars for a set of custom Buli Built wheels. Spank Hex hubs and Stan's hoops, made by the best wheel builder in the region...

    21 Orbea Wild FS M20 gearing options?

    Yeah, I'd love to go to a 36 or 38 tooth. Seems like that would be a little easier on the lower gear cogs in the cassette... I barely use 1-5 cogs now. Wolf Tooth has some options I'm looking at currently. They make solid components, but not sure if it's emtb-ready or not.

    Can anyone recommend some pedals

    Crank Brothers Stamp, Spank Oozy, Deity Black Kats... I've had really good experiences with all of these. The Stamps are my favorite.

    Awesome! Last time I was there on my YT Jeffsy, it was a suffer-fest. I'm looking forward to going back with the e-bike and actually enjoying some of those climbs, particularly High Voltage. That trail made me want to cry. lol

    Hey, are ebikes okay at Racoon Mtn? I think they are but it's hard to get a straight answer.
