Orbea Terra M31e Gravel Bike Unboxing & Overview

[@mariog4707]

The orange (used) plastic thing in the box is a brake wedge. Pop it into the calliper when you remove a wheel to prevent the pads closing up if you accidentally pull in the brake.

Thanks for the tip!

[@Stancke0]

Ordered my M31e in may, due to arrive in october. Looking forward to my first gravel bike!

[@kian_zandi]

Super cool! Congrats! I’m sure you’re going to love it 😁

[@Degisftw]

Dziękuję

[@SaDa-fp4dk]

Congrats on your new bike 😀

[@kian_zandi]

Thanks! It’s been a lot of fun to ride 😁

[@Tdezayo]

Can you do an update/review video on your thoughts of the bike so far?

[@Puuhapiit]

How has the bike been? How is the 1x?

[@CRPTOWN]

Any update or long term review? :) Did you managed to get used to the bike being on a larger side being an M? Would you go for size S if you could order again?Thanks

[@antonshill]

ok thanks for the video How tall are you and how do you finde the M model? I hope you have more videos about the bike

[@kian_zandi]

Im 175cm tall. I find the M fine but it’s at the limit. If you’re any shorter I’d recommend a size S

[@antonshill]

yea have mine already and have to say its a bit long, im considering to change the stem ...@@kian_zandi

[@kian_zandi]

@@antonshill yeah that’s a good idea. You can also try rotating the handlebars upwards before you go spending a lot on a new stem. Especially if you want an original one with the cable routing

[@conan_der_barbar]

I unscrewed the lower bottle cage screw and the small part that keeps the lockr in place on the lower end just fell into the frame 😢 since it's magnetic I can't get it out 😭 do you have any idea how I could fix this?

[@kian_zandi]

The same thing happened to me when I first unscrewed it. I just flipped the bike over and it fell out

[@livvsol]

🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@calebwoolman8201]

Any updates after riding?

[@Monocausal]

Great video! Whats your height and hows the size M working for you? Im 173 and a bit between S & M and am worried about too much reach on a M and a too small fit on a S 😅

[@kian_zandi]

Im 175 and the size M is great. I would say it is on the border though in terms of reach. But my previous bikes were also on the slightly larger side so I’m used to it. If you can go and test ride one that would be ideal. If not, you can always use a fit calculator on some websites which take into account your arm length etc.

[@Monocausal]

@@kian_zandi thanks, that's already very helpful! :)

[@micno2076]

@@Monocausal I'm also 173cm. Was able to test a M with 90mm stem and 80mm reach on the handlebars. The shifter hoods were a bit too far for me to feel good. My LBS had a M in backorder that I'm able to configure on the website. I'm thinkinh of going with a 70mm stem and the gravel handlebars with 70mm reach...this wil bring the hoods 3cm closer.

[@drscre]

Consider an S (assuming the stack works for you). I went for M and had to change to 70mm stem (original stem is not cheap btw). Should have gone for S.

[@TubePlanet]

Nice vid. Have you done the riview?

[@andip.3003]

Hi Kian. Very good Video. I also plan to buy the Orbea from bike24. May i ask how tall you are and do you get along well with the size M? I am 179cm tall. M or L? Thats the question? thanks

[@kian_zandi]

I would say the M is the perfect size for you. I’m 175cm and the M is on the boarder of being too big for me. So it should fit you perfectly!

[@Hail_Chris.27]

Did you end up getting the Orbea terra? I'm curious as I'm the same size as you and in the same situation of not having sure what size to order.

[@andip.3003]

Yes. I bought the Orbea in size m. But I had to buy a longer seat post. am very satisfied

[@Hail_Chris.27]

@@andip.3003 glad to hear that. So I assume if you had to change the seat tube the riding position is quite "racing" like an aero road bike. Do you find it still confortable or do you feel it in your back or your wrists after a while?

[@drscre]

Is alignment on your frame ok? Rear wheel on mine seats non symmetrical between the seatstays, like 2mm to the left side. Also, after an 100km ride the seatpost developed an irritating creak. I think it is due to a poor seat wedge design. The bolt is simply pressing on the wedge. So It immediately gets loose when weight is applied to the seatpost and the wedge moves slightly even if i tight it up to the proper torque. Thinking of trying to apply a thread lock... Overpriced overmarketed piece of shite :/

[@kian_zandi]

As far as I can tell my alignment is good. I had some creaking from the stem area but that’s fixed now after I dropped my bars and re torqued everything. Thread lock light be a good idea if you have that problem

[@klaudiawojtasik6500]

Czy ten rower ma napęd na dwa koła ?

[@kian_zandi]

Tak tak 🚲

[@convivator]

This bike is the worst bike I ever bought. Almost every part 19:54 broke in some way the first year. Never again!

[@tp2808]

This was painful to watch

[@AS-cx1ik]

Why?
