    Change rear brake on 2023 rise

    If you need to fit a new hose, you'll need to remove the motor and battery.

    Newmen Fade Freewheel Replacement

    The freehub is specific to the wheel hub so it's unlikely that you'll be able to use a freehub from another manufacturer. Unless you get lucky and Newmen manufacturer for another brand. It could be the bearings have seized or there is dirt in the pawls. You can remove the freehub easily enough...

    Orbea Rise Cascade Component Link

    That's what the warranty says. So in theory, yes it invalidates the warranty. In practical terms, say the motor fails and you take it in for repair under warranty, I think they're pretty unlikely to refuse a claim because you've fitted the linkage. If the frame cracks however, they've got a...

    Help! Chewed allen bolt

    I don't think extractors are the answer in this case. Op says there's a snapped drill bit in the middle on the hex. @DC29 how much depth do you have in the hex before you hit the drill bit? I'd imagine that the axle will be hollow so hammering a tor bit into the other (open) end and unwinding...

    Rise with a 150mm Manitou Mezzer

    I wouldn't be worried about cracking the frame personally. I'd be more concerned about affecting how well the bike climbs. Those steep, loose climbs where you're on the verge of sticking it into boost to get up. Having a front end that wants to lift is the last thing you need. That's what I...

    Rise with a 150mm Manitou Mezzer

    Following on... I just stuck the numbers for a medium frame into this Calculator and it shows the BB height increases marginally once you add the extra 10mm under the headtube. I may have got the numbers wrong though but have a play

    Rise with a 150mm Manitou Mezzer

    Don't forget though that the now external lower cup adds at least 10mm of height under the the headtube which negates a lot of the drop from slacking the fork angle out. The Mezzer at 150 is already taller than the standard fork and right on the upper limit that Orbea specify in the tech doc...

    Anyone install their cascade link for rise yet ?

    I'd have said that the seatstays/ chainstay combined with tiny bearings are the reason for flex. They're all going to flex and give long before the linkage does so I don't see it making much difference personally. The linkage is pretty heavy duty and run on fairly large bearings so it's...

    Orbea Wild (new) hand fatigue (OC M10 carbon bars)

    When you say you're getting hand fatigue, is it just uncomfortable? Or does it feel like you're getting harsh impacts? Big difference. If it's a comfort issue then no amount of tyre or fork faffing will fix it. If its harshness then maybe. If its because you're gripping the bar too tight...

    Orbea Wild (new) hand fatigue (OC M10 carbon bars)

    I don't have that bike or that bar but if it feels a harsh, I'd be looking at the fork and the front tyre rather than the bar being too stiff. Hand fatigue could be bar height, bar roll, saddle height, saddle tilt, brake lever angle etc. I used to get numb hands on my hardtail with Oneup...

    Anyone install their cascade link for rise yet ?

    BB height would only increase if you fitted a longer shock. The linkage is basically a longer lever than the standard part which means the rear axle moves further for the same movement at the shock. The 'tradeoff' is an increase in the leverage ratio of the linkage which isn't necessarily a...

    Anyone install their cascade link for rise yet ?

    It's a good idea to use something softer/ less brittle than the hardened steel of the bearing races. Your ratchet extension is probably fine for the job as it won't be hardened steel. If you have a brass drift then yeah, go for that but I wouldn't personally buy one especially.

    Maybe try a bit of penetrating spray around the bearing and let it soak in for a while? I know this doesn't help but mine came out fairly easily...

    Does anyone own a waterproof jacket that's actually waterproof?

    Of the two, I'd be firmly in the unlucky category lol. Some of the older Humvee shorts and gloves I've got have been going for years with no problems. Bought some more Humvee shorts last year that lasted a few rides and split. I didn't suddenly get fat either 😂 Thinking about it now, it...

    Does anyone own a waterproof jacket that's actually waterproof?

    Maybe I just got unlucky... ...With 4 pairs of gloves a pair of shorts and a jacket that all fell apart in the last year

    Is the the expanding type that you tighten up and then hit from the back? How hard did you hit it? They should come out fairly easy with that.

    Does anyone own a waterproof jacket that's actually waterproof?

    For 3 months and then falls apart at the seams? Or is that just my experience?

    Motor failures?

    What a fantastic answer! Just a quick point on the power button, on the alloy models the power button is held captive by a nut on the back of the switch. To get the button out, it's a motor off job. No amount of prising, careful or otherwise is getting the switch out! At least not in one...
