Orbea Wild FS owners, dropper post thoughts

[KennyB]

Thanks!
Yeah I've been riding mine for a bit now, the same Large Alu @150, and I certainly wouldn't want it any higher in the top position - in fact I could happily go a bit lower. But would love any more drop I could get at the bottom. So a 150 OneUp seems like the right choice for me, I figured it would slam, but now someone's actually tried it, even betterer...

My inside leg is 29", 73cm. I used the app on the One Up web site to assess which post I needed and bought a180 post for my medium Levo, expecting to have to fit a (supplied) shim to reduce travel to 170. I didn't, at max insertion the post is perfect.

here’s a picture to go with it. The stock one stuck out of the seat tube almost 2.5”.

Excellent, thanks.

I note also you've strapped the battery door. I do have a rattle but I figured it's the Bosch Rattle. It's really not as bad as I feared, doesn't bother me too much. But maybe there's a battery door factor too. Or are you just worried about losing the door?

And what mudguards are they? Can't make it out.

I haven’t really noticed a rattle, I just have it on there after reading a few comments of the plastic cover falling off.

I have the ProGuard bolt on short fender.

I really like it but will switch it out for a factory Fox short fender for the summer.

The latch for that cover is pretty awful. I haven't taken to using a strap yet, but it makes sense.

Yeah it's pretty horrible I agree, and mine's new... what were they thinking, the door doesn't even seal properly...

mines an XL, and yes it goes right in. the bottom part of the Oneup post is almost same length as the Orbea one

So the 210 oneup fits in a carbon XL?

@jbrown15 : are you sure about the 2,5" being inch and not centimeters? on my 2020 wild fs h25 it is about 3cm.

i am also thinking about getting the oneup 150 but only if it can be inserted all the way down like on your pics.

Is the rear Mudguard also a proguard?

After waiting too long to get the OneUp 150, I couldn't get one when I needed to, so I ended up getting a Fox Transfer 150.
As below pic, does not nearly slam and looks pretty much like the OEM one it terms of how far it sticks out, even worse perhaps. The good news though is the butt-to-pedal is a little shorter even like this, because of the lower stack height at the top of the post, and that makes it perfect for me in the top position, the stocker was a smidge too high. It'd be nice to have a bit more drop but after getting used to the stocker it wasn't holding me back at all and this should be a little better. And I do like the action & reliability of these Fox posts - I've had a few on different bikes, hence why I just sprung for one.
