    Orbea wheels with offset spokes and tram lining(?)

    Thanks for your input, ive tried to straighten buckled wheels with spoke tension and while managed to improve it, it was not successful and put me off the idea of lacing a wheel forever… although I’m sure it helps starting with a rim that is actually straight 😁 I guess I should make it clear...

    Orbea wheels with offset spokes and tram lining(?)

    On my local loop there’s a twin track trail lined with 300x300 slabs on the surface for heavier vehicles. These have subsided and moved over time and no longer sit level. So much so that when wet there’s a good chance of sliding off the side of them with the slimy winter green everything get in...

    Why does giant use KMC chains with Shimano?

    If various videos on YouTube are to be believed it’s because Kmc make Shimano chains so there in lies the penny pinching mentality of fulfilment managers asking for a cheaper product. As Kmc alkedged go Last last longer and shift better

    Lightweight vs full power eMTB - Anyone experienced with both?

    Power v weight v £ for me. Specialised sl 35 nm torque. Beautiful bike imo. Nearly paid there and then but the power was ….. poor. Esp given the cost nearly £5k Specialised levo 80 odd nm. Great gobs of torque. Very heavy but very easy to pedal. Hills just pulled you up no great effort required...

    Convince me of this tubeless idea

    And you dont swap tyres…. But fair enough if it works for yo …. Hold on…. 5 years. But you’ve had to change a tyre in that time, right? I haven’t flatted with tubes provided it’s got burger source in, or the tyre is a schwalbe marathon

    Convince me of this tubeless idea

    Oh yes I’d forgotten the need for new power shot pump. I mean really this is not necessary for just the use of a cush core I still feel the idea is to stop sharp objects piercing the tyre in the first place. Then you don’t need the sealant at all. The Cush core I get even above the pita if...

    Convince me of this tubeless idea

    No it’s not As it needs another cassette and an other pair of discs. Swapping tyres with tubes is way quicker anyway and I have three sets of tyres as said. So three pairs of wheel 3 cassettes and 6 discs. Really? Why stop there, 3 bikes? 😄 As it happens I do now have a spare set of wheels as...

    Convince me of this tubeless idea

    That I can see and understand. It’s the Cush core pinch flat element more than the foreign body through the tyre. Zero need round here. Locally yet to see a puncture that wasn’t a thorn.

    Shimano ep8 code reading

    Post in thread 'Orbea Rise reliability' Orbea Rise reliability Are Shimano owners aware of this? Well here you go if not. Surprised there isn’t a motor manufacturers specific section for these sorts of posts tbh. One for the Shimano section perhaps ? Or have I missed it?

    Orbea Rise reliability

    Mine raised this code and didn’t tell me. Presume it’s not a major code as it still drives ok. It was bloody cold at the time and I do get frustrated with the thing when you set off and forget to turn the poxy thing on, so then have to get off agsin to reach the power button by which time...

    Orbea Rise reliability

    Right so on the ep8 with e tube ride ( correction e tube app, not the ride app) app, there is a maintenance tab once connected to the bike and the motor unit selected (from memory) in there you can see what code has been raised along with a description of that cause and a course of action to...
