Beanzz, I'm sorry, I made a mistake on the steerer tube length you need for a Rise M series extra large frame. I've corrected my previous post to reflect the correct size you need. I originally told you the Rise M Series size "Large" frame uses a steerer tube length of 8.50 inches. This was...

Beanzz, You want to buy the eThirteen, "e*Spec Plus Cranks" for Shimano. The eThirteen chainring for the EP8 motor is not included with the e*Spec Plus Cranks. All you get are two alloy crank arms, no rubber boots, no chain ring, nada..... When you visit the eThirteen website and click on...

I went back with E13 alloy crank arms. E13 is usually sold out of the shorter crank arms, however, if you monitor E13’s website, you’ll see they will become in stock for a period of time before selling out again. I think one of the frustrating issues is that Shimano has only licensed a few...

It's perfectly acceptable to buy used parts. I have used second hand parts on many occasions. I urge one bit of caution if you do this. You should only buy second hand from somebody you trust or has a proven track record of honesty. I once bought a used fork off of eBay. The seller claimed the...

Yes...my replies tend to be overly girthy....wahoo! I hope the post helps. I recently sold my Rise to my brother. My Rise had 3,200 miles on it when I sold it. If you do the upgrades as mentioned, your bike will be absolutely bullet proof and can handle anything you throw at it. I amended and...

Beanzz, Bike setup and upgrades are such a personal thing depending upon riding style and terrain. What I suggest and would be applicable to my riding style may not be what you desire or need. However here would by my suggestions: The Rise M20 has three main weaknesses that keeps in from...

machaggis, You did not mention which tab you broke off, there is one at the frame charging port and the range extender port. On several occasions, I did not push the range extender connection cable fully into the range extender charging port and thus the tab was not engaged. Typically, after a...

The upper linkage arm attachment is a weak spot on an otherwise fantastic bike. As I've noted in several technical articles, it requires frequent maintenance in order to prevent play developing in the rear triangle and or noise issues developing. Hopefully the new pivot linkage arm and axle...

WithSimone2022, I got up this morning to do a ride and what do I see......Rain. I'm now bored at home and have an excessive amount of time to answer your question. I'm guessing others reading this post may have a similar question about BH59 brake hose on the H30. Here's the five dollar...

Frankyspec, I checked on Orbea’s website and I don’t see the 2023 Rise Blue Paper posted yet. I also checked the “Spare Parts” section and don’t see any parts listed for the 2023 model yet. In the past I’ve tried emailing Orbea Spain and never got a response. You might want to try emailing...

Cookie, what's the haps? It was my experience also that the drive side linkage arm was the arm that would always loosen up. At one point I actually considered doing exactly what you suggest. Once I started using the LocTite 638, I no longer had an issue with the linkage arm loosening up and...

It depends upon how crusty and built up the blue thread locker is. If it's just a slight amount of buildup in the threads, I use an old tooth brush or stiff bristle nylon brush to remove as much as I can. I then apply a small dab of blue thread locker and re-install the bolt/hardware. If you...

b33k34, I don't want to provide incorrect information. The carbon seat stay itself has no bearing pressed into it, however there is a bearing in the linkage arm which the seat stay attaches to. I'm going to assume you mean the rear axle chain stay bearings? Rise M Series rear Axle bearings...

I think that's a good solution regarding application of the compound. Sparingly on the splines. You are right about noise. Sound travels and can make locating the noise difficult. When I sold my Rise to my brother it had 3,200 miles on it. I currently own a Levo just to try something different...

B33K34, I am not familiar with the newer 2023 model of Carbon Rise or 2022/2023 Rise Hydro linkage and therefore have no experience with these models. I can comment on the 2020/2022 Carbon M series Rise which I have much experience with. The Orbea 2020/2022 Rise carbon M series is based off of...

Rick, Have you ever wondered the difference between Shimano Deore and above braking system component groups? In most instances, it will be either a weight savings such as a carbon fiber brake lever, or a rider convenience feature such as tool free reach adjustment, etc. When it comes to Deore...

rmd, Locating a magnetic 203mm ice tech rotor in the USA can be difficult and very expensive. If you are interested, it's an easy hack to modify a $55 non-magnetic 203mm Shimano RT-MT800 brake rotor and turn it into a magnetic Shimano RT-EM800 brake rotor. I purchased a $55 non-magnetic...

Izzymtb, Thank you for sending me the picture. The mechanical side of me wonders what purpose the ring serves? It looks like it secures the drive side of the motor to the central body. The Fullerton Loop has served me well. It's a perfect place for those days or nights where you need to get a...

Moto13, I'm not familiar with the electronics layout on the Husky. I went online to check the owner's manual. Unfortunately the manual does not provide an electronic schematic. If you send some close up pictures of the cockpit wiring, the SC-E5000 display, mode switch, etc. I would then be able...

Elderdom, I listened to the sound file and It sounds like something is going bad with the motor internally. Have you tried taking the chainring off, crank arms off and squirting some penetrating oil onto both spindles where they enter the motor. Leave the chainring off and temporarily put the...
