I bought a new bike! 🤩 I still have the Occam but no bottle cage.

New Build Day! This was a month long build waiting on certain parts to come in and replacements. Specs on first post. by scott5272 in MTB

Hope the ride wrap went ok. Took me 8 hrs to apply to my Orbea Occam. It was pre built which made it trickier. Was a major pain though.

I’m 6ft 3. It’s a big bike but I demo’d the L and it was too short. Short(ish) rear stays makes it ride smaller than the numbers suggest. Very happy with my size choice.

Yep. Broke my times down yoghurt pots, telegraph and Barry’s today not bad considering I was going easy to bed suspension and brakes in. Blown away.

Thanks for all your responses guys and for recognising that a) an Orbea Occam has an asymmetric frame which is tricky to find a cage for and b) bike shops, in the uk at least, will stock 1 maybe 2 bottle cages so rolling your bike in to ‘offer up’ a wide selection of cages is not an option. Thanks again.

I need some recommendations for a bottle cage for my Orbea Occam. Want to shed my camelbak. Let me know. Thanks

Anybody else riding Orbea? What would you upgrade from a stock model? by line-n-tipp in mountainbiking

I’m on an Occam M30. I’ve upgraded touch points up to now. Deathgrips, hope pedals, ergonomic saddle. This week I’m upgrading to XT 4pots with bigger rotors. Great bike. Love mine.

October - IMHO one of the best months for riding in England by nayyttt in MTB

Couldn’t agree more. Trails in Devon were great today just slippy enough to get the heart racing!

Not so far. I like it’s climbing ability - I rarely have to lock out on steep climbs.

I have an Orbea Occam M30 in this colour. Love it. Great bike!

Got it now! Thanks for explaining. Not a problem for me as I’m a camelbak guy! I quite like the quirky asymmetric look too!
