    All New 2023 Orbea Wild

    Thank you that's a perfect picture. so you have 30MM under and what looks like at least 10MM above? so could in theory get 40MM under and lift that stem up higher. In terms of re routing all the cables i assume i can do that at the cockpit end ( eg disconnect from shifter or dropper and feed...

    2022 pivot shuttle am pro and cons ? Help

    Hi. The shuttle am is a full fat not sl. I had looked at sl bikes. Exe being one of them but honestly I found the motor gave me no assistance on climbs. I’m not if the bike was a dud but put me off sl motors in general

    Levo Gen 3 Turbo levo 2023 vs others

    I’m in chch. Take the point about core strength ( something I’ve had to work on due to sports injuries when younger) but definitely very different feels with bikes that on paper look very similar. I’ll keep looking and trying until I find the feel I’m trying to emulate on my analogue trek...
