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...

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...

Photoshop is certainly possible, but the only bikes I know with a high swingarm like that (Siryon and Wolf Ridge) have a very different shape.

Subject line has it. Bosch always seems to cut out assist early, some cases worse than others. A couple tenths of a mph would be no big deal, but around 1mph early is annoying, and 2mph more would be very frustrating - arguably false advertising on Bosch's part. Has anyone managed to get a...

Product Image: Product name: Fumpa miniFumpa Price paid: $132 USD Score (out of 10): 3 Review: I thought this little guy could have potential as a CO2 and pump replacement in hip packs where space is at a premium so I picked one up in September 2020 and it's been in my hip pack since...

For those of you using a DHX2 on your Wilds, how are you adjusting the fast rebound? My fingers can’t reach the adjuster with the bike on the work stand. I figure either I need to compress the suspension, find something to poke into the holes in the adjuster for leverage like a medieval...

Getting my SRAM AXS shifter pod to sit in the way that I want for comfortable shifting has turned out to be much harder than I ever imagined it would be. The clearance to my TRP DHR Evo brake lever clamps is incredibly tight (limiting left-right movement) and the revised shift lever sits too...

Product Image: Product name: Wireless shifting: SRAM AXS / Cell-Cycling E-Link / Archer D1x Price paid: 600-1000 USD / 260 USD / 390 USD Score (out of 10): 8 (AXS) / 5 (Cell) / 4 (Archer) Review: For anyone who may be interested in wireless electronic shifting, I've tried these three...

Product Image: Product name: 3D Printed Bosch Kiox Headset Spacer Mount Price paid: 30 Euros shipped Score (out of 10): 5 Review: The stock Orbea clamp mount for the Bosch Kiox always drove me nuts. It's flimsy, brushing against it will easily knock the Kiox into some weird angle, and it...

There's a particular steep and scrabbly trail I like to ride on my eMTB. I thought it would be an interesting challenge to try it out on my 2017 Evil Wreckoning. It wasn't as bad of an experience as I feared: I had to stop now and then to catch my breath, and it was a lot harder to maintain...

Small maintenance niggle I have on the Orbea Wild, and I'm wondering if others have the same issue and how they resolved it. The rear brake hose for the Wild exits on the inside of the left chainstay. That exit makes the hose naturally want to chafe against the wheel spokes, so the exit port has...

Well, looks like the “stuck powertube” issue is now plaguing me. The battery was difficult to install last time and now when I turn the key instead of dropping freely into the latch, it only drops a few millimeters before holding fast. A little digging shows this is not a rare problem but...

Back in the 90's and early 2000's I used to mostly run Fox forks and didn't particularly care for Rockshox. One day I bought an all-singing all-dancing 120mm fork with Fox's best damper at the time and no matter what I tried, the ride was harsh and travel I was getting out of the fork was...

I'm trying to replace my Shimano brakes with a set of TRP DHR Evos today, and the one bit I've really been dreading is taking out the old brake hose and routing the new one. The part I'm really scratching my head over is the laminated battery protector (part #28 in the Blue Paper on pages 32/33...

I've been riding the canyons since I was a teenager, and it's exactly guys like this that make it necessary to occupy the road aggressively. I was doing 35mph at the time but this fellow couldn't be bothered to slow down a hair until a turnout came up. My mistake was leaving a little too much...

Just as an FYI for those curious about the KMC 12-speed chain and Orbea Wild FS riders specifically: The KMC e12 Turbo chain that comes spec'd with the Shimano 12-speed cassette and shifter does *not* appear to support the Hyperglide+ function. I switched chains yesterday and went for a test...

So as I've learned Orbea is now using a "proper" rotor magnet in 2021 instead of the ridiculous spoke magnet: MAGNET BOSCH SENSOR CENTERLOCK — Orbea Has anybody tried using this magnet on a centerlock to 6-bolt adapter? It looks like it would clamp right on so long as you have the kind of...
