    Any reason I shouldn’t buy an Orbea Rise?

    Just managed to place my order today to compliment my Canyon CF9 and will hand the Cube down to Mrs C. Wanted a M20 with some upgrades (as suggested above) but was told than any amendment greatly risks a delay so went for the standard. First drop of 2022 models in October.

    Which for steep techy dh between SL or Rise?

    Yes very happy with the Cube but you can't get away from the fact they are heavy beasts, I'm 56 and starting to lose a bit of upper body strength

    Which for steep techy dh between SL or Rise?

    I had a demo today. I'm just 5'9" with 30" inside leg and the large was bang on. Have a Cube FF Since Oct which I love but now heading to the Mrs as blown away by the Rise. Ordered a M10 to have colour choice as now waiting anyway but like powerful brakes and good fork

    Anyone in Surrey climbed this?

    I made the mistake of heading up to the top of BH from the stepping stones hoping to be able to ride alongside the steps. Wet chalk is not great for grip and there were more steps than I expected but stubborn and got to the point of no return so nearly killed myself pushing, dragging and walk...

    Solar panel battery charging.

    These are very popular in the leisure sector but you are paying a lot for the convenience. Basically a posh version of the above with a bit more functionality granted. Loads of reviews on Youtube and similar alternatives are available. Amazon.co.uk : jackery uk

    Need help choosing: Cube, Focus, Spec, Scott or other?

    Your spread sheet looks like mine although I added weightings as if it was a £10m tender! (I'm in Procurement so I cant help it) lol. As said above, availability is key. I narrowed it down to a Cube and the Focus. None of the Focus dealers phoned me back so bought a Cube 140TM from the LBS last...

    Gears skip but only in two of them??

    I had exactly the same problem and spent ages checking and rechecking everything. Cured it by setting the chain gap to just less that the SRAM tool suggested at the sag point. Sounds like you have but also double check hanging bracket hanger
