Not that I'm aware of. do you have a Purion or kiox?Got the bike, 29" is rad. Caught my ass a few times but the bike is great. Is there any app to accompany the bosch motor? A few friends have specialized that have an app that tracks distance etc...
Yes there's is, it's called bosch ebike connect but it's rubbish, only works with kiox and upwards displays, doesn't work with purionGot the bike, 29" is rad.

Hey, has anyone successfully put a 27.5 on the rear of a Wild FS? I'm picking one up soon and being a pretty short guy I'm wondering about giving my back end a bit of room to breath over the 29"

I’ve done the same now. Best thing I did for that bike. It’s made it so much more playable and enjoyable. I like the idea of a coil shock, that could be the next upgradeI have now for about two months. The mullet will be permanent. I mainly did it because at 50 years old, I'm now learning how to jump, drops and was concern the 29er rear would buck my butt.
Specs:
2021 Orbea Wild FS H25 mullet 29/27, 180mm Zeb, MRP progressive coil 450lbs, 36T chain ring, 220 rotors. Weight is about 26kg.

Nice! yep, it is for sure more nimble and fun.I’ve done the same now. Best thing I did for that bike. It’s made it so much more playable and enjoyable. I like the idea of a coil shock, that could be the next upgrade
mine appears to be Ok except for that crappy clear tape. Sorry to hear yours cracked. Have you bottom out really hard?When I zoom in on your second picture with the side view of your bike it looks like your frame has the same crack mine developed. You might want to take a close look at that.

Mullet = YES. Rides great. I do need to do something to compensate for the low pedals though. Still on the 160 Fork, so that's one place to start. Could also go 150 Cranks, and there are also those headset extenders that will raise your bike 10-20mm. View attachment 80707
Ill check that out this afternoon for ya. Yeah, does seem like adding 10mm travel gives you the bonus of more plush along with the higher bb. I think it costs the same as far as parts go. Also figured that when the fork is compressing that I would be losing that benefit. And I know how to take a fork off and put on a ring, but have never opened a fox 38 and tried to replace the travelIf you're going to raise the frame up 10mm you might as well increase your travel 10mm. Can you measure your BB height? I'm running 170mm travel forks, recommend it to anyone with a Wild.
Also, now that I am used to the slacker angle, I am not sure if I would want to go to a full 29er, so changing fork to 170 would make up for some of that difference I would be losing.Ill check that out this afternoon for ya.

You are probobly right. Most of my pedal strikes are at higher speeds on sniper rocks, more than on a big hit!I can see why you'd say that, but I would think if your fork is fully compressed you wouldn't be concerned with pedal strikes?
I'm just thinking when I'm jumping and my fork is completely compressed my cranks are usually flat, not one down and the other up?
So pedal strikes with the fork fully compressed wouldn't be something I would think you're concerned with.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with wanting to do it your way, just saying 10mm more travel is nicer than just 10mm added to your stack height
looks shart, how do you feel about those Eddys?I have 180 front as I upgraded to mezzer pros and didn’t get round to lowering to 160. Good enough so far View attachment 80740
hahaha actually it looks sharp.. Sorry to call your bike "Shart" lollooks shart, how do you feel about those Eddys?

Local Bosch dealer sorted the software and I had to get a magnet from a Turbo Levo as it was the only one strong enough to work (about £6 from Leisure Lakes). The BB is fine, there's not been anything on trail/DH track that I've caught it on. So currently, all good. Definitely the best change to the bikeGreat looking bike, I am also considering a mullet setup as I have shorts leg and I am 80% torso.
Did you have to do anything to the software to change the speed limiter or?
Would you think bb would be too low with the stock 160 mm fork?

Depends on your riding no? Riding here in the uk it's often wet, sloppy and so this 2.4 michelin wired, mud tyre has honestly been amazingI wonder how it would feel with a plus tyre on the rear, sorry if I am Thread jacking.
Denmark, pretty much the same conditions summer is pretty dry and fast for a few months after that it is just like riding in chocolate mousse.Depends on your riding no? Riding here in the uk it's often wet, sloppy and so this 2.4 michelin wired, mud tyre has honestly been amazing
