Hey guys.
Want to change the travel on my zeb and the manual says I need maxima plush dynamic light and heavy.
Really hard to find online and is big money when I only need 2-3ml!
Anyone know where I can get this Local to Bracknell or a shop that can just do it for me? It’ll be cheaper at...
awesome thanks. ill give the slack-r kit a go. im already going to increase to 160 to offset the drop. Im trying to battle a bike thats a wee bit too small and i think ive narrowed it down to wanting the front wheel further forwards/COG further back.
Hi Guys,
Im looking to increase front wheel center and slacken head angle a bit. Is there any way to do this on the rise?
From what I've found so far, the problem is that the races are built into the frame so something like Works Components angle adjust headset won't work.
Hoping someone is...

Description Looking to sell my Orbea Rise M10.
Bought the bike new in 2022, 721 miles on it, excellent condition, just a few cosmetic marks as to be expected. Invisi...
Mulleted out the giga with a new linkage to restore the geo and the difference was fairly small to be honest. Nothing like on the Orbea which suggests the difference is mainly down to the geometry change as someone has suggested.
Next up I’ll try some 50mm rise burgtec bars
It’s a legitimate comment around is it the geo or the smaller wheel. As such I’ve put the 29 back on the rear and the bikes handling sucks again! Such a huge difference. Next I’m going to try 40mm riser bars and 160mm fork on 29 and see what that does. I’m also going to 27.5 my giga which had a...
Why wouldn’t you?
Can’t tell if you guys are serious lol.
Seems like there is a lack of transfers which will mean a drive. Also I think I’ll want a bit more practice than I was planning so I think it’s going to be leave the family at home for a week.
Shame as it would be really nice to...
Didn’t phrase that very well did I haha.
They will be 1 and 4 so probably only on the red / jump trails. Could try them down a black and see.
Yes has anyone turned a mega trip into a family holiday. Is there much to do with the kids on the off days in that area? I don’t see me taking a week...
Ok, going to back track on this a bit. Raced an enduro today and pedal strikes are unacceptable with the bb drop. Bad one today had me off which put and end to my race.
29 is going back on the rear and I’ll see if I can emulate the geo changes without the bb drop or buy a more enduro bike to...
Yea notably more pedal tagging. Not decided yet if it’s bad enough to do something about, certainly not on my local trails which is it’s main use. I bought another bike for the big stuff.
Not updated this thread in a while. I tested a mates SL which didnt have this handling characteristic with even shorter reach. I have since mulleted the rise and the sensation is gone. Mulleting will essentially shorten reach, increase stack height, decrease head angle, reduce BB. I can only...
I have always been intrigued by the mullet setup and decided to shove a 27.5 wheel on the rear of the rise with no other modifications. Holy crap it has transformed the bike. So much more nimble, agile playful and better balanced. Can be pushed harder.
For anyone on the fence just give it a go...
Thanks yes I’m surprised at the change. I’ve basically reset the sag.
Turns out I already had hsc fully open. Lsc half way. So slowed down hsc one click.
For rebound I put 2 clicks slower of hsr (the fast out of control feeling) and 1 click fast Lsr (pop off lips?).
All a bit of a guess...
Few observations to note. The over the bars feeling is still there but it’s quite minor. Tons more front end grip and ability to attack the berms. Fantastic.
There has been compromises however. The fork feels a bit springy and when I went 90% attack a little out of control. I’m the past this...
Ok. Out round my local swinley which obviously is rather mellow but the difference is noticeable with an extra 20psi in the fork. Was minor at first but as started to gain confidence and push more and more it feels good.
Still some in front of the bars feeling but let’s see if the further...
