    What happens if you run a 27.5" speed calibration on 29er wheels

    Assistance will stop sooner. You will + or - 5%. Note; it only changes the displayed speed by -5 or +5%. If you choose -5% assistance will stop at 23.75km/h (if limited to 25km/h). This change won't be reflected in the logged speeds and distances etc. Also the odometer will be out of whack...

    Pressure Washer ... is 25 bar too high?

    I don't think so. I generally deal with dust. I mostly use a big very soft paint brush and an air hose. Sometimes I clean the bike with a mild solution of wash n wax - dip a wash cloth in the bucket, wring it out, then clean a section, rinse the cloth out in the solution and repeat for another...

    When in 12 gear (smallest sprocket) and when in trail or turbo whilst also putting my own max power down the chain sometimes skips a few teeth.

    Your cadence must be very low, however: The b screw adjuster on the derailleur - this adjust the amount of chain wrap around the sprocket. On a 10 tooth sprocket there isn't much for the chain to connect with (6 or 7 teeth?) I've actually removed mine because it also seems to effect ease of...

    Orbea Rise H15 Battery Charge/Discharge issues

    I'm just adding to what others have said. For my bike which is e8000 and 504wh battery, 1% is pretty close to 225 seconds of charge. That's up to 80%. After 80% supposedly it speeds up, as opposed to other batteries and chargers. I have the slower shimano charger. I use a timer and generally...

    Rise Dual flashing red lights can not clear Error W10100

    What is the distance between sensor and magnet - can you make that closer? Does the magnet line up with the sensor as it passes? You don't need a specific magnet, basically the stronger the better. I glued a couple of magnets on top of each other for better effect (standard rotor with my...

    Unanswered Spongy Mechanical Disc Brakes

    Ahh, folk here have probably forgotten about cables and cable housings. It dependes what sort of cable housings you have. Some are lined with plastic. The plastic can wear with grooves, which of course will increase friction. You will feel this as "sponginess". Some housings are lined with...

    RIP Orbea WILD FS h20

    This is a forum where we can learn. Many here are doing their research on what to buy. The rise in particular is pretty expensive, even for an emtb. At the least I think this is a pretty good "heads up" if you're in the market for a new bike. More so when you consider what looks like another...

    RIP Orbea WILD FS h20

    I tend to buy things after they've been out for a while. You usually pay less and buy something that is generally a known. For example - just before or just after the new model has been released. With cars and motorbikes I've waited till they're near the end of their run. Addendum: do you know...

    Orbea Rise H15 Battery Charge/Discharge issues

    Ahh, didn't know that. Yes, it's nice to buy from manufacturers that have a big r&r budget; even then they still have some trouble.

    Pressure Washer ... is 25 bar too high?

    I think he lives and rides in Scotland 😂

    Have I made the right choice?

    For sure. I can imagine that emtb will soon outsell mtb. I have nothing vested in that view, just an observation on what I'm seeing. When I started riding emtb, I was trying to keep to mtb style and technique. The reality is that emtb is simply a different thing, so I might as well take...

    Perhaps it is a widespread shimano issue?

    New Cube 140 HPC 2022 750wh - Eco seems underpowered?

    it's just a what some nerd decided would be a good amount of assistance for eco. Can't you modify it to suit you? I have a shimano e8000 merida. On my first ride - this is my first emtb - I was amazed at how much assistance it gave on eco - it flew. Within eco's 3 settings, everything was set...

    Have I made the right choice?

    Oh, I'm just observing the possibility - for some reason it seems like a possibility to me. I was considering the rise h30 myself. Yep, it's all steep up or steep down where I am. I actually like it, the technical climbs and the descents.

    Torn meniscus, did yours recover?

    I was told I had to have surgery about 18 years ago? I chose to be ignorant with myself because I'm allergic to medical interventions unless it's really something I can't avoid, like a badly smashed foot (I still haven't seen the xrays of that; nurses and doctors get enthusiastic and tell me I...

    Have I made the right choice?

    It's possible that they will be another short lived venture like fat tyre bikes or even just 3" tyres.
