I had my first OTB with the rise as well a couple of days ago. Very technical, slow speed and tight rocky hill. There was a step like descent, too little speed and otb we go. Rise got some scratches to grip, brake lever and front shock. My pinkie finger got twisted and bruised.
My speed on the...
Tempting... I was expecting more from the XT, compared to SRAM XO1 I have in an Occam. XO1 feels more precise. Never had an electric shifter before.
Can we install a SRAM cassette to our wheels and hubs?
I feel a BIG difference compared to my carbon Occam with carbon wheels. Feels like I am riding in sand with the Rise motor off. I actually increased the eco power a bit.
Hmm, I might have heard something similar. Not sure. I have tinnitus and I have learned, a very hard way, that it is best NOT to get fixated on particular sounds. Trust me on this. :)
Now that the demand for bikes is so high, Orbea could add a fee for customization and then prioritize those orders. I am sure this would increase sales.
In addition to replacing the chainring, switching to shorter cranks would also help in cadence, right? e*thirteen confirmed one can buy their 165mm cranks (S/M Rise) and install them to L/XL Rise. I just might do this. Do you think any S/M owners would like to buy longer cranks? :)
I am keeping the stock stem. I actually moved the seat into the middle and kind of like the new compact upright posture. I don’t like the 780mm handlebar and will cut it to 760mm and change to Oneup carbon bar for added flex.
