    Who owns Crestline 180

    Hey Arethustra, Planning on a Telum shock too since they are local to me. Your 420lbs spring is surprising to me too as the recommendation from Crestline states ~450lbs for 180lbs. These numbers puts it in different Sprindex rates, so I wanted to double check with you on what type of riding you...

    Comment by 'iJak' in article 'Can the Bosch Performance SX 55 Nm compete with full-power motors?'

    Wanted to revist this conversation. For those who have the SX motor, is any tuning adjustment on the app that will help with achieving the 600 watts at a lower cadence? Will the app help make this SX motor feel more inline with full powered ones? I can't find anything on the app tuning of SX...

    Anyone install their cascade link for rise yet ?

    Removal of old link was pretty straight forward. Installation of new link was good until I had bolt in the seat stays. I got one side installed but it was quite hard to align - stripped first thread of the bolt. The second side was even harder. Solution is to loosen the rear axle, and if you...

    Anyone install their cascade link for rise yet ?

    Awesome thanks for the update! Did you have to up your spring rate by 50 or so lbs?

    Planning my 2024 purchases and looking to get the link too. What size bike are you running? Also did you get the link installed yet with 29 out back? what's the clearance like?

    Ep8 rs full power

    I don't ride very often - bought it back in april 2022 and unlocked it after 200km, still going strong after 1500km! I did suffer from random power downs before unlocking, but I removed the motor and replugged everything to make sure it's nice and tight + no cables were pinched. Didn't have any...

    Orbea Rise Cascade Component Link

    It's happening - no details on it though. Saw this through their IG showing this at the Crankworx Whistler Booth. Below are all educated speculation: + progressivity + travel (possibility, if so, not much) Gen 1 Rise (up to 2022) - should fit both carbon and hydro Gen 2 Rise (2023 edition) -...

    Instant engagement hubs on the Rise?

    I've had both - Vesper Nobl 37 and now Hydra Nobl 35 on my Orbea h30. Vesper: Like any Vesper, there's going to be a bit spongy-ness when stepping on the cranks, but honestly it's not noticeable if you actually ride the bike instead of holding rear brake and cranking. Based on my understanding...

    Orbea Rise Mullet

    You cant unless you have STunLocker premium, or fully unlocked shimano software (I think only dealer can install this) TBH you won't be losing too much speed ~ 5 to 6% difference between 29" to 27.5" eg. speedometer display 25mph, at 27.5 actual = 23.75 mph

Between...
