    No name hubs

    H30 22 model Story is they couldn’t get Shimano hubs during covid so they sourced some other crap instead. Are you guys aware of this issue? Turns out they are chosen hubs made in Taiwan. H30 and some H15 affected The bearings are too tight for the correctly sized axle so the bearings run...

    Altering steering angle (Rise)

    It will indeed 👍 but will also induce more pedal strikes and cost WAY more than a headset It does need to be on a rise as that’s the bike in fitting a headset to? Surely Coming off the couch and seeing all this talk of slack steering was defo a concern for me. As said earlier I’m aware this...

    Altering steering angle (Rise)

    I can only assume from the answers you’re giving that you have no idea on the inners of the head tube ? Nobody here fitted or swapped out a fork ?

    Altering steering angle (Rise)

    Indeed….. but here’s the key question Will it fit? There’s two 10 mm spacers below the stem but this would mean raising the front as the cups sit outside the frame. They’re by negating half (or some amount) of the advantage of fitting them. The video for these does state they can be fitted...

    Altering steering angle (Rise)

    The rise is exceptionally decent capable. So much so, given the riding the bike gets, and not what it was designed for it just be said , that it leaves plenty of room to improve the other disciplines without upsetting MY downhill riding too much in the process. See…. There needs to be an...

    Altering steering angle (Rise)

    I was thinking along the lines of one of these https://www.workscomponents.co.uk/angle-headsets-29-c.asp But the reason for posting on the rise pages is I do t know if they will fit. The bike has an integrated headset. I will email them but does anyone here know?

    Altering steering angle (Rise)

    Ok put it this way, it’s too slack uphill it’s slack on the flat and too stable down hill There’s room for it to be less flat or slack and still handle well down hill in my opinion. The question is does anyone have info on variable head angle head sets or similar ways to affect the handling...

    Altering steering angle (Rise)

    Of course I was merely trying to explain the issue with that example as tge suggestion was it was wheelying. It’s not. Moving forward didn’t change the steering angle so the sensation remains. …. Until the bike is on flatter or even better a downhill track The trail figures are set by the...

    Altering steering angle (Rise)

    It’s XL with 50 mm rise bars I Like a wheely so am familiar with the front light feeling. This is a an easy rider type steering angle that’s worse uphill On motor bikes a sports bike needs an upright steering angle for quick side to side steering and a light feeling in the hands over numerous...

    Battery range summer v winter

    No that’s the thing I couldn’t provide more regular conditions. It’s a heated garage believe it or not. Bike hangs from the garage door opener rail nice and toasty. The garage was, wisely, fitted with a rad when the garage was extended to include an office above it in the eaves. We ride from...

    Battery range summer v winter

    I’m seeing almost half the range in winter? Staying above -10 for the warranty obviously, when the ground is frozen it’s a bloody good laugh across the fields and trails. Dress appropriately and keep working keeps you warm But I’m seeing range of 20-23 miles below zero where as in summer I was...

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    I was swayed by Vittoria e maza and the low rolling resistance claims. Orbea rise light weight smaller 540wh battery Can I tell the difference? Well the rr is not worse than the Maxxis oe tyres as far as I can tell. Is the range better? No idea as it’s winter and battery performance drops off...
