Does anyone happen to know the correct chain length on the new wild? Or could someone please count the links? 🫣🙏
My chain broke and took a few links out and dont know the exact length know.
Cheers
1st color: metallic dark green Matt
2nd color: black Matt
Bike is Large.
I‘m 1,82m
Had previously an XL and the L feels a little more compact but still large enough, I guess XL would be too big on the new one.
I have my wild since 3 weeks and made two rides. (Bad weather here 🥶)
I opted for the 750 battery and don’t regret it, with the 630 i guess I would have. Had the previous wild FS m-Team and the new bike feels the same, which is not a bad thing, or even better!
The old one was amazing and the...
Noticed that @Rob Rides EMTB mounted this differently compared to blue paper. He mounted the Spinblock (6) directly on the headset spinblock cover (4) and the spacers on top. Not sure if it makes a difference, but the spinblock stem spacer shouldn’t be below the stem.
Orbea says they use premium enduro bearings. If there is a gap, how should it be closed when there is no possibility because if the way the headset is constructed.
nope, not yet sorted.
Don’t think the wild has an integrated headset. First is the headset bearing, then preload ring and then the headset cover which looks like it has too much clearing. Might be normal, don’t know.
Maybe someone or @Rob Rides EMTB could have a quick check if it’s similar.
Hey, I see you mounted a bottle. What’s the deal with the 3 screws, if I loosen all 3 there is a plate underneath and I was scared that it drops into the frame. Did you leave the middle screw inside or how did you mount the Fidlock?
Not sure if keep it clean or to go with Kiox. What did you choose?
@Rob Rides EMTB Did you miss the Display on your rides or is it a "get used" to thing?
Happy new year ✌️ Some sh**head stole my beloved M-Team and now I am about to configure my new M-Team. Was wondering for which colors you guys went? They have this color spectrum on their site but its difficult if you haven't seen the carbon ones in person. @Rob Rides EMTB Have you see some...
:eek: Didn’t know, must be the Brexit 🤷♂️
Fitted today the magic Mary in 29“ 2.4 in Soft and Super Trail in the Front. Nice grip, however I found it a bit too stiff compared to Maxxis DHF Exo+.
Want to try the big Betty on the rear. Would you go with a 2.4 or 2.6?
Are the WTB tires a good choice for fall / winter season? Conditions here in German are comparable to most UK trails.
People usually only go with maxxis, Schwalbe but others probably makes also good tires. 🤷♂️
Tried Michelin e-Wild but not my tire. Knobs are too small and hardly any traction.
Bike components has the DD / Maxx grip soon available:

Are you planing to ride the shorty both front and rear for fall and winter? Heard that maxxis has some issues with colder temperatures...
The normal wild or e-wild? Have the e-Wild and don’t know if I keep em. The seem to have a little margin for error. Feel like about to loose control in the corners, but somehow they keep the traction. Weird feeling 🤷♂️
Hey there,
got a new Wild fs m-team and i m pretty stoaked with the overall performance of the bike.
However since a few days and the last muddy ride I noticed a creaking sound from the area of the coil and bearings. Wonder if that is normal, although I haven’t noticed it before.
Anyone with a...
