Did the big C’s mechanics not just forget to open the frame spares baggy and install them? That looks like a missing part imo. Id ask edit: you are defi missing parts: heres a listing for same bike that was also bought from CL: https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/dual-suspension-bikes/569475/2022-orbea-oiz-h30-medium also…all google images of the bikes show grommets Edited September 11, 2022 by MORNE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steady Spin Posted September 11, 2022 Share Came with the port blanked off with a plate. Nothing else and CL said they don’t have this. Taping it up for now with Gorilla Tape to prevent water and dirt ingress I would imagine the bikes should come with a bag with a manual etc at least. Maybe they have a pile of this in the workshop? Who knows. MORNE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows. They suck when it comes to OEM stuff and im actually talking about CL-CWC here in cape town. I bought a set of slx m7100 brakes from them in 2020 and they didn't give any of the olives, piepies and bleed blocks etc in the box. Made them give me everything. I dont even ask..i tell them it’s missing 😅. Those things are R100 a side, never mind the bleeding stuff. Not my problem they want to sell OEM stuff as new/retail.

Who knows. It should def. Those things come unassembled( thats how they dodge duties) in boxes with everything. Even my wife's old ‘Macrodale’ 3y ago came with everything in the box, manuals, bb cable guides etc. Also, like you’ll know…any new frame/ bike comes with a blank as well as a open version of those plates for droppers or whatever etc. Well atleast every single bike I've ever built myself.

Yip. They probably have a box full of miscellaneous OEM cable guides, manuals, stickers etc. that they are either keeping to sell or use when servicing a bike. You can drill the blank, but it is sketchy at the best of times and you will probably need a very sharp drill bit and a steady hand. I think the best thing to do is to ask them for the guides and maybe offer to pay courier (it is unfair, but it may make them more likely to tell the thruth and gove them to you). If this fails then bust out the drill haha MORNE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m 1.79m tall and went for a size large. Installed a Rapide 125mm post with the over the bar lever. 150mm would have been too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cycle lab want to order me the Lyn 150mm - may have to change that then. Is your dropper lever installed on the right side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steady Spin Posted September 12, 2022 Share That is how much sticks out with 125mm post. Looks like a lot but 150mm for me would have been very close. For the type of riding i do on this bike i don’t need that much drop compared to my Evil.

KevinDS Posted September 12, 2022 Share Thanks - I don't know much on the subject. Wouldn't a 150mm sticking out less be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
