That’s a valid point! I’d rather have the crank broken than the motor spline 😅

I had a bad pedal strike and broke a crank arm on my '23 Orbea Wild the other day. The pedal got loose and the threads were all gone. New cranks needed. I have narrowed it down to 155mm Hope or E thirteen Helix race (due to availability). They retail almost the same. The Helix Race weighs 412gr...

Well, since the Orbea Wild has won pretty much all tests in 2023 and even in 2024, you cannot go wrong. Still, it depends on your terrain and riding style.

I wouldn’t say that a Fox36 160mm is flimpsy. Should be adequate foe most normal weight riders. I an running 160f/155r (mm) on my Rise. Quite a good setup.

The rubbing is only visible under full load. I used two ratchet straps to compress the spring during testing. The white paper piece was stuck. It may differ depending on the spring rate, since the springs are getting thicker when higher rating. I would recommend to be careful 😊

I tested the same setup on my MY2021 Medium M10, and the coil spring was rubbing against the frame. Isn’t yours a Medium?

I can’t find any discussion about sizing of the Wild. I am 173cm/5 feet 8 inches, which puts me comfortably in the middle of Medium. I parking lot tested a medium H30 the other day, and it felt a bit short. I have a Medium Rise which I really like (160/160 29 f/r with a 50mm stem). The Rise is...

Would you mind sharing your shock adjustment settings? I am similar weight and I am just about to get the same setup installed. First time I test a coil on the rise.

Unfortunately, the Rise doesn’t have UDH, so it is not compatible with SRAM Transmission. Unfortunately, the Rise doesn’t have UDH, so it is not compatible with SRAM Transmission.

You will decrease the reach with the slack-r, so it might be that it feels more cramped…

Here is a product review with a solution for you:

OR maybe the upcoming Bosch light weight motor?

https://9point8.ca/collections/slack-r-kits Mounting this in reverse should steepen the HTA. I would not recommend it, though.

Maybe 9point8 will come with something that fits? Slack-R is designed for integrated headsets.

@Rob Rides EMTB You got the range exender as well? That mount...

Well, we just have to accept that your posts are objective and data based, and not based on your experience, right? @Gary

@Crazee horse talks about the two shocks and I assume front and back, even though fork would be a better term. I just politely answered what I thought was his question without pointing out the possible lack of knowledge (opposed to you??)

Shock stroke and rear wheel travel is not the same thing. You measure the vertical travel of the axle. This is different than shock stroke due to the linkages in the frame design.

Still need to concider the total build weight and weight distribution, in in relation to the cost. Having an extra kilo in the low centre of the bike is not critical. Also, you get paid by the extra torque. The Rise offers equal or better suspension, brakes, drive system and cockpit for less...

Have you ridden a Rise? How can you be so sure? A lot of arguments of why you ride the SL, but can you really tell that they are non comparable if you haven't ridden the Rise? And out of curiosity, why do you feel the geo is so much different? They are pretty trail-ish both of them, if not the...
