Too much techy talk. All I can say is bike sits higher. I'm having an easier time clearing rocks.

Cascade components link does NOT fit H15 frames without modifying the link.

Same. Bike definitely sits taller which is plenty fine with me.

Anyone got any info on if these links completely void all warranty on the frame? Someone in the group said it would, but I called orbea and the lady gave me a really inconveniencing, "no it wouldn't void the warranty"

So cool!

It won't void the warranty. It's the same thing as replacing a shock. Sure you void the warranty on the linkage. Have a dealer install it if you're really nervous.

I'm in US. Pre-ordered the link and the pre-load kit. Just under $300. It didn't have an expected arrival, but someone on their insta said we should expect the first links sometime in late October.

My 2022 bearings are not sealed

I'm only buying for the sealed bearings. I'm sick of the awful orbea bearings

Jk, there are some weird changes though. The new motor is MUCH clunkier than the one it replaced, but that's okay as long as it works longer. My defaults are SUPER wonky though. Anyone know why the defaults are so weird? Max torque is still 60nm, so it's not like it has the default EP8 tune...

It was the no name brand, so probably Chosen

Well it's official, my Orbrea is getting a new motor. I'm really hoping it's the new EP800.5, but I'm not sure if those are in the US yet. On the plus side, the shop said I'm fine to ride the bike until the new motor comes in, but just to be aware the play will only get worse lol.

Funny you mention this stuff. When I got my first creak on the new bike, I hit every single joint with a Torque Wrench and this tri-flow, but I used the squeeze bottle instead of the spray. Sad to say it did not solve my issue.

I'm too poor to be out here swapping forks 😂

Fair point. I think Specialized is the only one I can think of that offers frame only.

Yeah I bought into the hype and the people saying they're crazy reliable. It's only after I bought it and joined the forums that I realized the mistake I had made lol. It's really the only bike that hit all the marks for me - Well known company, locally sold and serviced, lightweight, and...

Man I really hope so. I was pumped when I got the bike, but I've thoroughly had the wind taken out of my sails and got nothing but roasted from riding friends as they have cheap Giants and are out having a great time in great weather... While I'm sitting at home complaining, waiting for my bike...

Wait, wat? It's been running well, but you've changed out all parts? That's a little ironic don't you think 😂😂

Can you fix mine?

That's good to know about ST Unlocker. I was under the impression that using it at all would void the warranty. I have checked the seat post for the creak. I have aluminum and not carbon, so I just used some bearing grease all up and down the dropper post. But it seems like the creek is coming...
