I don't own a meat bike anymore 😭 but I did get the chance to test ride this beautiful Hope HB916 at the weekend.

They are also releasing a new bike next month, the rep was telling me at the Leisure Lakes Demo Day at the weekend. Light(er) weight long travel bike, Bosch gen 5 motor if I recall correctly. But regardless, good to see prices falling! Long may it continue.

To be honest, it's not fun! Since this picture, I've actually gone for a wireless Dropper and SRAM AXS transmission wireless just to have less cables going through the headset. I've also switched the headset to the easybikeparts IS52 headset as it allows for headset cable routing without...

Green are the most powerful, but wear very quickly, I've had one set need replacing after a big day in the lakes. But for all out power, they are the best. I am heavy and so is my bike so that probably doesn't help! I've find the purple pads to be a good middle ground, although as Greg says...

Spot the derailleur!

As above, this is the one that looks the most appealing to me price/spec wise from the new Avinox bikes. And I have very fond memories of my old Whyte T-130, I loved that bike! Always liked the little things they did to make it UK slop ready, like the little screw in caps over the frame...

For me no, as my 2 year motor warranty runs out next month anyway. He can change it back to original speed if needed for warranty AFAIK.

Thought I'd chip in and add my experience too. Went smoothly, good set of instructions to get you ready for the change, only took 5 mins despite my poor internet and responsive over WhatsApp. Got the limit changed to 33kph on my Orbea Wild, no issues so far. Can vouch for him being legit...

Yeah, I think the only thing that one doesn't have is the lock out, which to be honest, is pointless on a ebike. Enjoy!

The shock will have to be 205mmx65mm trunnion mount. Yeah Orbea are not very helpful at times!

Yes, maybe on a small frame there might be an issue. But on my XL there is loads of room.

Not too sure if that one will fit, Someone on here will know. I use a DHX2 and that fits fine. I've used the below from TF Tuned for years for calculating spring rate, and its always done me good. https://www.tftuned.com/spring-calculator For reference, I'm around 100KG and use a 475lb...

I've ordered spares from sour bikes before €10 shipping so got a few pairs of grips to make it worth it. https://sour.bike/shop/parts/revolution-grips/ I also ordered a pair of RevGrips from Shorelines for my Dad and shipping was nice and quick and free if I recall correctly. Be good to see a...

I was running OneUp Carbon bars for years and while they do offer more compliance than others they didnt eliminate my hand pain completely. One thing that has helped massively was going to a bar with more back sweep, I used the video above and settled on around 12 degree back sweep ( I did also...

Yeah so far I'd have to agree, only one ride so in and I was blown away how much better the bike felt both descending and climbing, the grip was unreal. I suffer quite badly from hand pain and have tried many things to help, this by far has helped the most. It's the best things I've bought for...

Been wanting to try this for a long time, the new V2 version just came out which was the prompt I needed to finally do it.

New 2025 links are available to order on the Orbea spares site. Obviously only the 2025 Model is listed as compatible. Anyone want to test if this is true? I'm tempted to try the alloy link for an extra 10mm of travel, but its an expensive test!

Protect E-MTB do a bash guard for the Wild. Also Rockstop do one for EMTBs. I've got both on my wild. https://protect-emtb.com/brands/orbea/ https://www.rockstopmtb.co.uk/product/frameguard-e

Yeah it will be a big difference, the stock Silver TK fork is awful and have no idea why they would spec it on a heavy ebike. I'd only buy the factory fork if you are comfortable with setting up High and Low speed compression and rebound. Yes, the Factory 38 can be better, but only if you get...
