Fitting pumps, CO2 canisters, multi-tools etc. seems to be a problem on the Orbea Wild because of the cross spars at the bottom of the down tube either side of the Fox suspension cylinder and below the cage mounts. Has anyone found a solution? Spacers on the bottle cage mounting or an adapter...

How do you attach a pump to the frame/bottle cage of an EMTB? I have an Orbea Wild FS which uses a Bosch motor and battery which requires a slightly fatter down tube. Every pump I have looked at will not fit as the holder curves to fit round the frame. Al

I own an Orbea Wild FS and would like to carry all I need on the bike rather than on my back. With that in mind I have considered both of the above items but I am hesitant to order as I am unsure if they will fit. I have heard of issues with the One Up EDC for example. The complicating issue...

Does anyone do this? Met a couple today on hire bikes. The guy fell off and blamed it on getting an unexpected surge of power as he hit a bend because he had forgotten to turn the motor off. Personally I think he simply hit some loose gravel on the berm. Met them later and they were...

A few days ago I noticed what looked like an official FODMTB notice board a few metres from Speech House Road as you drive into Broadway. The signs that show one dot, two dot and 3 dot warnings and gradings. There also appeared to be some tabletop jumps. I didn't have time to investigate so I...

I'm looking for recommendations before I waste any more money. I have been using a pair of Dakine Slayers for almost a year. They were perfect with regard to fit and protection, unfortunately the compound inside the knee area has shifted making them both bulky and uncomfortable. I replaced them...

Can anyone offer some advice with regard to bike security. I'm thinking along the lines of a secure wall/floor fitting and something like an Abus or Kryptonite lock and chain combo. The bike is stored in an attached garage with a bolt each side on up and over doors and boarded up windows. Are...

I got my new bike back in September and asked for it to be fitted with tubeless tyres. I understand that it is recommended that the fluid be topped up at least once a year so I have a few questions. Should I be considering topping up now, 6 months later? Should I be using the same brand of...

Bike / Product Year: 2020 Manufacturer: ION Model: K-PACT ZIP Medium Asking Price: £50.00 Location UK Description Knee Pads. Almost new, worn only twice

I'm looking for some new knee pads. Sort of middle of the road. Not out and out full monty downhill but equally not something that is essentially a leg warmer. The more reviews I watch the more confused I become. One says brand X is fantastic the other says it's crap. I ride mainly Blue, Red...

Is it worth carrying a spare inner tube AND a tubeless repair kit? Or is that overkill? If I only carried one or the other which one should it be? My brain says inner tube. I'm trying to cut down on gear on shorter rides e.g. 2-3 hours around home and at bike parks. On a long cross country...

I'm looking for something compact to carry FF Helmet, shoes, knee pads, waterproofs etc.to the trail centre in an organised manner but not too expensive like some of the "designer" bags you see. I have been using one of those semi rigid boot liners which was just perfect. Unfortunately my new...

Can anyone make a personal recommendation? I've seen a few reviews but remain none the wiser. Please resist the temptation to lecture about the wisdom of using a pressure washer on an e-bike. I am aware of the risks which is partly why I'm looking for recommendations. Small is good, I only...

I have Shimano MT501 brakes on my Orbea. There is a lot of play in the levers before they engage and the levers are a little too far away for my liking in the rest position. If I adjust them to bring them in it also brings the engage position too near my knuckles. I may upgrade the brakes...

After considerable research I decided that these mid length shoes would suit my needs for the winter only to discover that I can't get hold of any anywhere? Does anyone know where I might get hold of some? Or of anything similar. There are tons of winter shoes for SPD users but very few for us...

How do you achieve this. I've just bought some Endura MT500 overshoes. Once they are on they are snug and cosy and I feel sure they will keep my feet dry but getting them on is like going 5 rounds with Mike Tyson in both time and effort so I'm not convinced that they will be practical for me...

Does anyone know the current situation re mountain biking at Cranham Woods. I rode there some years ago but there were access issues and trail spoiling so I tended to give it a miss as it was too much hassle. But I do recall that a couple of trails were quite good. I've tried to investigate...

Does anyone know what it's like after rain? I'm local but never been so I'm thinking about tomorrow. Al

I have the basic Purion display on my Orbea Wild FS. If I'm honest I don't like it very much but is it worth upgrading to a better model and if so which one? As a secondary question how hard is it to fit a better display, what does it involve? As a side issue, looking at the design of the frame...

I know Quadlock seems to be the industry standard but I'm looking for something less "permanent" and I don't particularly want another phone case. I would only use it when trying to find trails using something like TrailForks, once I've found the trail and I'm on it, typically downhill, single...
