What?!?! A bike manufacturer rounded down on the weight to make the bike seem a little lighter??? That has NEVER happened before. Bike weights from ANY manufacturer should be considered a bit suspect and lower than found in the real world. I think they fill the frame and tubes with helium at...
If that's a problem, then this bike is clearly not the bike for you and your body geometry. I don't have any problem with the seat tube length and it is no worse that any of the 100 or so bikes I've ridden in the past 30+ years. Don't ride a bike that is dangerous for your riding style. You...
Not too long for me. I'm 5'11' on a large and I can drag my butt on the tire if I want to. I'd rather not though. Every body is built differently. If you have shorter legs and the same height as me, it might seem like the seat tube is too long. Get the right size for you or get another bike...
They are never going to match or feel even remotely the same. They are two VERY different bikes...like you said, apples and oranges. A fully rigid gravel bike compared to a fairly long travel mountain bike is no comparison no matter the motor. The RS motor definitely has a different feel than...
Great! I'll use Wazzock and be cautious with Pillicock. That's interesting. I'm of English, Scottish and Norwegian heritage. I lived in Norway for a few years and never heard the word pillicock used at all.
What I have noticed is that the red light to blinking red light happens quite quickly
I agree. It's seems like it's sometimes about 10 pedal strokes to go from steady red to blinking red. But then again, by the time I've ridden far enough to get into the red, I'm quite knackered (love that...
I think we're talking about two different things. If only one LED is blinking red, that means the battery is almost dead. If two LEDs are blinking red, then there is a system error. The OP didn't specify one or two LEDs blinking red.

The difference in the colors is a little close, but not bad enough to be confusing. Maybe see an eye doc and get your color vision checked. 10% of all males have some degree of color vision deficiency, not "color blind", (that is extremely rare) but just difficulty differentiating some...
I ate some sketchy Mexican food yesterday and my rear end is a little loose today. I'm not sure I want to tighten it with a wrench though and I'm quite certain I don't want to apply any loctite.
I've had my M10 for just shy of a year and I love it. There is no direct comparison of models carbon vs alu. Builds are different. To get an alu bike with the same components as my M10, I'd end up paying the same or even a little more than I paid. I realize the M10 is $1100 more now than when...
I agree with wanting to retire the term "clipless pedals", but to respect the history of biking, I guess we'll keep it. It made sense in the early days, but not now.
I ride flats on my Rise, mostly just because I wanted to try them and see if I could get used to them. I have clipless on four...
My daughter has a Rocky Mounts rack that has the same cable lock. It's about as good as a shoe string. I just chain my puppy to the rack when I park. No one messes with my bike.
Yeah, the Kuat NV2 is definitely a great rack...although as you said, stupidly expensive. I think it's one of the rare ones in the US that has a pretty high weight capacity even for a 1.25" receiver.
The problem that our European friends have to deal with is that most of the cars (small) over there have 1.25" receiver hitches. Most US made racks that can carry two heavy bikes are 2" receiver. If you use an adapter to size it down, it reduces the total weight carrying capacity to below what...
Just so no one is confused, the M10 standard spec is with the 36 150 grip fork. There is an option to downgrade to the 34 140 fork. I have no idea why anyone would want to downgrade that item for the paltry $189 savings. The M20 comes with the 34 140 fork.

I know this is not a happy answer, but I think you need to find a new bike shop that can really help you. If they are an Orbea dealer, they need to be able to take care of firmware problems. What happens if your firmware gets bricked like it has with a very few others?? They just tell you...
I'm in the US. You must have the 1.25 inch receiver. Here most vehicles have the 2 inch receiver. They do make an adapter that goes from 1.25 to 2 inches, but it will reduce the tongue weight limit by 50%. Do European cars have metric size receivers or are they in inches?
