Orbea Wild 2023 rim sensor to disc rotor conversion.

[xsurfy]

I want convert the bike from rim sensor to disc rotor sensor (Orbea Wild blue paper say it's compatible with the slim sensor of Bosch)
At the moment the bike is at the dealer waiting for Orbea to help them to enable this feature (taking ages imho) Anybody have done this?

Cheers,
Ruben

Hi @xsurfy

How did it go with the conversion? is it a carbon frame?

Hi Michael,

The hardware was easy to install, need to take the motor out for it (did it myself) After that Orbea change a setting at the dealer. I asume its the same for Alu or carbon, there is only one blue paper on Orbea's site. I have an Alu.

Attach some pics, part numbers and the final result (with the speedi mounted also)

Hope it helps ;-)

Hi Xsurfy

That's exactly what I needed to know. I bought the parts already, I just hope the carbon frame (my bike is arriving in a couple of days) has the same thread where I can screw the clip on it.
Appreciate all the pictures

Hi Xsurfy

last thing: to run the speed sensor cable inside the chainstay did you have to remove the brake line and use it as runner? Of course this would require a bleeding at the end.
Thanks

i did route the cable inside the chainstay, didin't have to remove the brake for it.

forgot to mention, you need to remove also the chainstay (single pivot bolt) to route the cable and fish it at the back where the sensor should be mount (best way for me). officially the cable goes inside that rubber, i choose to do it next to it. You will figure it out ;-)
