    SRAM GX AXS Adjustment

    Just fitted the AXS derailleur to my new M10 Rise. Still have the original SLX cassette. How did everyone else set the B-Screw? Did everyone use the tool SRAM supply, or some other method? I've used the microadjustment, and I just can't get a clean engagement in all gears. There's usually a...

    Tyre choice for BPW

    Assegai up front. DHRII out back. EXO+ Really happy with that for BPW for grip over roots, smooth rocks and berms and bouncing off drops, sharp rocks and that brutal run, Rim Dinger. For armour. Get it all and a DH lid. Can't put a price on that.

    Just pointed to this forum as a great place to discuss all things E-Mountain bikes - my interest is about addressing theft!

    My garage has been attacked by thieves four times. They're after the motorbikes and ebike. I don't believe in the 'If they want it, they will get it'. The thieves last attempt, they didn't get more than a heavy touch on the garage door. I wrote a long piece on what works for me in another post...

    How do you secure your bike at home

    Sorry to hear that BBear. I've had 4 attempted thefts of motorbikes and bikes out of my garage. They've done damage but they've never been successful in stealing motor or pedal bikes. Everyone's situation is different, and the thieves that pick you vary in intent and ability. Lucky for me, I've...

    Orbea Rise , anyone seen one yet ?

    Hi Ducman, I meant 220mm. 230mm was a typo.

    Rise - which display to go with?

    I have the Garmin 530. I use it on my road and mountain bike: Good points: It tracks all the data of a ride, and seamlessly loads it to Garmin, which then syncs to Strava. It tracks gps route, speed, av speed, jumps, hang time, distance jumped, it takes heart rate from either my HRM chest belt...

    Orbea rise chain touching rubber stay after AXS install

    @chrismechmaster Did you get a Wolf's tooth or matchmaker to keep the cockpit tidy? https://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/products/shiftmount?variant=14423010803747 "MM-ISEV, MM-ISII, & MM-MAG is compatible with but not designed for SRAM AXS. With SRAM AXS, the shift lever will be further...

    Rise creaking under pedaling load

    Yes - I have a slight creak on pedaling which I've never been able to isolate, mostly out of the saddle which would fit with leaning the bike more side to side with each stroke. I will see if it stops when more smooth with the bike movement to prove that. How did you manage to identify the area...

    Pedal strikes - shorter cranks needed?

    Cheers all. Really helpful. And no offence felt from 'Ride better/pump everything to 1000psi'. I'm a grown man nowadays with thick wrinkly skin. All advice welcome! Was riding yesterday and got a few strikes on narrow footpaths (let's not go there) that are sunken with turfy banks on either...

    Can you get tired on a Rise properly?

    A good question and one I debated. I'm going out this lunchtime, I'm going to ride for 1.5hrs and I'm going to push myself exertion-wise. I will use the same level of effort as on my analogue, but my av speed is likely to be 17kph rather than 12kph. The ride encompasses a couple of small...

    Rise Up - What are your upgrades?

    No. M10 is 6 bolt.

    Pedal strikes - shorter cranks needed?

    Not another crank thread! This one's a bit different, my cranks are currently on nice and tight, but they hit the ground on my trail rides quite a lot more than my other bikes. Shock sag is 25%. No insert. Forks are quite soft in the first half, (3 inserts I believe) Tyres around 20psi I'm...

    Still Happy With Your Purchase?

    Good summation. I've had mine since Feb. First ebike, never ridden any ebike before buying this. My other bike is a specialized Stumpjumper sworks. The Stumpy only saw action when the Rise rear shock was leaking and had to be repaired, otherwise confined to the back of the garage. The Rise...

    Orbea Rise Range Extender installation and screws torque

    Ordered mine Feb 14th when I picked my M10 up from ebikeshop.co.uk in Farnham. Arrived a week ago. Very impressed with the quality of it all and sturdy holder. Just tightened it up with some threadlock, enough that it didn't slide up and down in the slots, and good to go. I've no idea when I'll...

    Rise, To extend or not to extend, that is the question.

    Used all my main battery for the first time since picking the bike up in Feb, done about 500km. It was Bike Park Wales, so did 4 mountain climbs (the morning uplift was fully booked) and a bit more here and there. I would say the only times I see myself needing the extender are, shuttling a...

    Serious issues with Rise LTD CARBON crank arms

    Ah yes - Getting confused between Rise crank threads. Sorry for the curve ball there.

    Orbea Rise New Owner - Motor noise - not the clunk

    Wow. That's a lot louder than mine was. I was fainter than that and went after the first 50km or so for me. It sounds like the full-time whistle - Maybe your bike's trying to tell you something.
