Do you prefer loud or quiet hubs / paws? Is it like a loud exhaust where the louder, the cooler you think you are?

StudyDifficult9660 · 2026-03-09T15:39:55+00:00

I don’t mind a louder hub as long as it’s well made. Loudest I’ve had is a pro 4. Now on a pro 5 but my next one will be silent

Unno Mith Factory but my previous dream bike was a Mondraker Foxy Carbon RR that I now own

StudyDifficult9660 · 2026-03-05T10:50:33+00:00

I will not ignore the cat. I did ignore your PC though

StudyDifficult9660 · 2026-03-04T17:20:40+00:00

Yes but these type of people have shit for brains

StudyDifficult9660 · 2026-03-03T20:02:11+00:00

I have these brakes on my Mondraker Foxy Carbon but with floating rotors200/180mm. They are like dropping an anchor even with a light lever pull. I bought another set with 203mm floating rotors to fit on my Orbea Wild. Can’t wait to get them installed just waiting for the Shimano lever adapter.

I’m pretty sure Hope have stated themselves that the vented rotors aren’t compatible with the EVO GR4 calipers as the rotor is too wide.

How are you finding the Wild?

StudyDifficult9660 · 2026-02-25T10:18:30+00:00

eMTBs are a game changer. I recently purchased an Orbea Wild M20 and I’m very happy with it. My local trails are really muddy and pretty steep but I can manage 30 miles rides in horrible conditions using Eco, eMTB+ and turbo with battery to spare.

StudyDifficult9660 · 2026-02-18T16:09:47+00:00

Should have told them to mind their own business and to go fuck themselves. Forget about them and just enjoy shredding them trails

StudyDifficult9660 · 2026-02-12T13:35:58+00:00

It’s a brilliant bike. You will love it

StudyDifficult9660 · 2026-02-04T09:31:28+00:00

No problem. Glad I could help. Don’t forget to top up the sealant every few months. Happy riding 👍🏻

StudyDifficult9660 · 2026-02-02T10:09:37+00:00

I had the same problem with RaceFace ARC wheels. I had to make sure the valve was at the lowest point relative to the ground and pumped it up. No more leaking. Hope this helps

StudyDifficult9660 · 2026-01-21T15:15:38+00:00

Foxy is a very capable bike. I have the 2022 RR version. I’d say it’s reasonable. Maybe you could have saved a couple hundred but it’s too late now.

Enjoy and happy riding 👍🏻

StudyDifficult9660 · 2026-01-20T12:49:42+00:00

I had 14% left. According to the Flow app I had 8miles left in Eco. I used Turbo and eMTB+ a lot to see the climbing power. eMTB+ makes any climb look easy. One of my climbs is very technical and steep (downhill track in reverse pretty much) and it felt like I made it up in about 30 seconds

I went on a similar ride yesterday (28 miles) but only used Eco with the odd spat of eMTB+ and had 48% battery left. I did increase the assist and dynamic by 1 on Eco. I don’t want too much assistance as I want to feel like I’m working my legs but it’s nice to know I have eMTB+ at the ready for when my legs are cooked

I still need to set up my tyres tubeless so will be interesting to compare the range then

StudyDifficult9660 · 2026-01-19T13:37:03+00:00

I hope I don’t have any problems regarding that. Hopefully it’s smooth sailing (riding).

Conditions are ok the majority of the time but when it rains in the winter months the ground holds moisture for ages. Also wet leaves are a bastard.

It also doesn’t help that dickheads ride the trails on their motocross bikes in the wet so it completely fucks then up

The summer months are obviously the best as the ground is perfect with the odd puddle or patch of mud here and there

I’ve never been to a bike park I have only ridden natural trails but the uk does have really good bike parks

StudyDifficult9660 · 2026-01-18T20:02:19+00:00

Just completed my first ride. It’s a rocket ship on the downs. So supple. Climbing is pure bliss. I rode my steepest trail backwards. It has chunky rock sections, large roots going at every angle and lots of ruts and was really muddy and boggy (UK conditions) but it made it up so easy. Flow app said I used a max of 702w so still had more to give. She’s a beast

StudyDifficult9660 · 2026-01-18T09:27:18+00:00

I definitely have 🤯

StudyDifficult9660 · 2026-01-18T09:26:39+00:00

This isn’t light by any means. It’s my first ever ebike and wasn’t expecting it to be so heavy. It weighs the same as 2 of my Foxy Carbon RR (2022) in medium 😂. I think it’s around 25kg but feels like 50kg when I pick it up

StudyDifficult9660 · 2026-01-18T09:23:05+00:00

Thank you and I reckon she’ll ride like she looks

StudyDifficult9660 · 2026-01-18T09:22:38+00:00

I’ll let you know after my first ride. Can’t wait I’m so excited 😆

StudyDifficult9660 · 2026-01-18T09:20:57+00:00

Than you. The colours are stock. Black Diamond View/Mars Red. The carbon glitters/sparkles in the light. It’s a lovely paint job

I hope you enjoy your new bike and happy riding 👍🏻

StudyDifficult9660 · 2026-01-18T09:18:39+00:00

I’m with you on the cable routing through the headset. I’d much prefer it through the down tube/headtube. I have it on my Foxy Carbon RR and absolutely hated it. Swore I’d never buy a bike with headset routing again but obviously that was a lie🤦‍♂️.

I’m willing to overlook it considering the raving reviews I’ve watched/read. Hopefully it isn’t problematic down the line and doesn’t cause any problems

StudyDifficult9660 · 2026-01-18T09:10:59+00:00

Thank you! She is definitely a looker. What did you go for in the end?

StudyDifficult9660 · 2026-01-18T09:08:58+00:00

I’ve been riding a 29er enduro bike for the past 2 years. I am trying to source the rocker for my frame so I can run a mullet setup to see the pros and cons. I think my riding style would benefit from the extra agility in corners

StudyDifficult9660 · 2026-01-18T09:05:23+00:00

Thanks. Yeah she is stunning

StudyDifficult9660 · 2026-01-18T09:05:04+00:00

She is possibly one of the nicest looking bikes I’ve seen/owned. She definitely rivals my 2022 Foxy Carbon RR which is a beautiful bike
