Did you mean the SL or the LT? TL is sort of neither one nor the other. 44lbs or 19.95kg is about as light an emtb as you are likely to be able to buy. I think that one of the Lapierre bikes is even lighter than that. Lapierre invite you to treat it as a normal mtb when the battery is removed...

Good question. Simples! Torque is measured in Newton metres. ie force in Newtons x lever length in meters. Force is "43grams weight" which in Newtons is 0.043kg x 9.81 m/sec2 = 0.422 Newtons Lever arm in meters is 0.165m Torque is 0.422 x 0.165 = 0.07 Nm, measured on one pedal. Now is that...

I broke my mech last ride out and today, while I had the mech and chain off, I spun the pedals and they moved very easily - taking a short while to slow down and stop. I decided to measure the motor resistance to pedalling and to measure it as precisely as I could without being silly about it...

Adjusting high or low speed rebound on a shock is of course easy and it's all over YouTube to make it even easier. The OP frames his question as though he is a beginner either to emtb, Orbea, shocks or upside-down mounting. (Or he would not be asking the question). His problem is not adjusting...

According to ChatGPT, in the UK it would take an experienced bike mechanic 30 mins to build a wheel. One who know how to do it but doesn't do them all the time might take an hour, especially for the more complex spoke patterns. This translates into between £30 and £40 per wheel in a variety of...

Things are different for Bosch motors, there is an industry out there that services them. One of the guys on here I think he's known as Bearing Man is well regarded for this work.

47!! OMG! You poor old bugger! The end is nigh! You are doomed!!! I didn't get my 1st emtb until I was 20 years older than you and that was more than 6 years ago. Don't worry @Stoods1, your creaking bits will stop creaking for a long time, that is until you get really old. :ROFLMAO: PS...

I'm torn between "a stitch in time saves nine" and "don't fix what isn't broken". I was thinking of sending the motor off while I was away on hols (the stitch in time approach"). My guy at the LBS said that the BB is absolutely rock solid and you have no unusual noises from the motor, leave it...

The Monarch RT3 is a good shock, the Monarch Plus RC3 is a very good shock. My burly 17-years old grandson rides the Plus RC3 on his Orange Five and he loves it!

Give them a go and report back. :)

Have they gone wrong already or do you believe that they might? Au greșit deja sau crezi că ar putea? (courtesy of Google Translate)

My apologies if I am teaching grandma to suck eggs, but here goes... :unsure: Just because a tyre will fit between the seat and chain stays does not mean that it will be good for your bike. The frame flexes when cornering, especially when cornering hard. The wheel flexes too, as does the tyre...

Welcome! :)

It is a safe to assume that the shock has to be mounted that way to avoid fouling the frame? Many bikes can have the shock mounted either way up without a problem. When I changed shocks on a previous bike, mounting the shock upside down was recommended to avoid the external reservoir hitting...

I would say that the best practice is to post in the most relevant place first and once only. Do not post in multiple places. Then any readers could use the "What's New", then "New Posts" (top of page) to see whatever is new anywhere on the site. I prefer this approach because that way I keep...

This is what ChatGPT had to say on the subject: Adjusting the high-speed rebound on the inverted shock of your 2024 Orbea Wild M Team can be challenging due to limited access to the adjustment controls. The FOX FLOAT X2 Factory shock, standard on this model, features both high-speed and...

You mean this sort of thing...

2.5" wide Maxxis Assegai tyres came as standard on my Fox 38's, so 2.5" wide must be OK.

I expected as much, no problem. I find that Google Translate is very useful. https://www.google.com/search?q=google+translate&oq=google+translate&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l3j0i67i433j0i131i433j69i60j69i65.9272j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

My wife was invited to a 60th birthday party by someone at her bowls club. I was dragged along in support. The host had generously provided food and entertainment of various sorts. One of the items was many of those shiny wire metal interlocking puzzles that you are supposed to untangle then...
