Nice. Is that from a shimano disc?

Interesting! I've been looking at magnet solutions and had come across these lockrings but couldn't find anything concrete to say that they would work with an EP8. Which bike have you run them on? Any idea which speed sensor?

I've tried plenty of cheaper pads and they've all been crap. Cheap, cheap from Ebay and not-so-cheap Gorrilla. Friction material wise, all of them were undersized compared to Shimano. All of the cheaper pads were thinner as well as having less surface area. None of them lasted anywhere near as...

Yeah, the pawls can get stuck if there's dirt or damage inside the freehub or hub shell. Depending on the hub, itd generally an easy thing to check. Most of the time, you can just pull the cassette and freehub off as one unit so minimal disassembly. Getting it back in can be a bit more tricky...

Surely the answer is to use a 20mm axle and adapt your hub to 20mm?

Chain wrap looks good. Is it definitely the chain skipping? Could it perhaps be the freehub slipping under load?

That's good to know. How do they behave with new pads? And what pads are you using? I know some pads have less material that Shimano

How much wrap have you got around the smallest cog? Can you post a pic? Also, where did you buy the cassette and chain? So many fakes out there on Ebay and Amazon etc

Guessing that's the carbon frame?

If you go for a 200mm disc, you'll need a new adaptor for the caliper. I've never tried 2.3mm discs on shimano calipers but you'll be getting pretty tight on clearance with new pads. You'll have next to no free stroke and almost instant pad contact. What bike is it for? Will you need a...

Hi, Have you still got this?

20.6kg for the big battery is pretty good going. I was expecting it to be more than that. I guess that's what, a KG more than an old M10? Anyone want to guess the difference in frame weight between carbon and alloy? Unless Orbea publish the weights or we get some user feedback, guessing is the...

All the reviews seem to be based on the M Team models which are obviously the lightest. Has anyone seen any mention of weights for the 'normal' models?

I'm running a SE5 on the back of my Rise. It's the same tread as the XR5 but the SE has a heavier casing and slightly softer rubber. I actually really like it. It struggles a little bit on wet roots and slithery chalk but then pretty much every tyre struggles there. The SE5 rolls really well...

Both my bikes had 800mm bars for a while. Mainly because that's the length that the bars were when I bought them (OneUp carbon and some Cannondale Hollowgram Carbon). They felt ok when they were fitted but having cut them down, the difference over the course of a days riding is huge. I get far...

Same here. 530 and a '22 H30. Only seems to have started since I did the firmware update via the eTube app. I'm also getting weird battery level readings when I have the rage extender fitted. It starts at 100% and gradually drops to 70% but then never changes until it's empty which is...

I updated my EP8 recently to whatever the new firmware version was in the E-Tube app (4.2?). Ive done a couple of rides in the last few weeks using the range extender. Previously, the battery would start at 100% and drop in 10% blocks until zero where it would switch over to the main battery...

The 'pull and twist' bit is just there to stop the back end falling apart when you take the axle out. There should be tabs on the round bit which lock into the hanger. They're rubbish and break which means there's nothing to hold the hanger in place. As you can see, if the hanger isn't held in...

I haven't noticed what you're describing but to be honest, I've never run my battery down that low. Since updating though, I've felt like the battery level is reported differently from how it was before. If anything, it appears that mine goes down slower than if used to. It's always been...

If the lockring was tight, there's no way a bit of grease was responsible for the cassette moving around. Must have been loose.
