Mike, I've not encountered an issue with a Rise where the bike has bricked but no error code has been thrown. That's unusual, I'm stumped. Your local bike shop can hook your Rise's Shimano system up to a Shimano SM-PCE1 and perform a diagnostic check for code errors. If the bike shop does not...

Ark, I agree with you. Unfortunately, using the grease would very likely void the Rise's warranty with Shimano. If the bike is out of warranty, then I would have no problem with using an electric contact corrosion grease. Be safe, Rod

Mike, The wired connection will be wrapped inside a foam pad and tucked slightly down into the down tube at the head tube. The exact distance down inside the head tube varies between bikes. You can pull on the head tube wire gentle like and retrieve the foam pad. The pad will contain an the...

FitlikeMike, The first time you drop the motor on the Rise, it will seem hard due to unfamiliarity with the process. In truth, it’s a simple process and gets much easier the more times you do it. If you follow my motor removal instructions in the posts above, you shouldn't have a problem. I...

You guys made my day, thank you!

On a positive note, you're riding the bike like it was N16BS, It's good to see you're getting your money's worth out of your Rise. You are correct, the design of the pivot axle seals is sub-standard. If you haven't done so, don't forget to give your lower pivot axle and bearings some love...

Yes, it does brother Cushcore makes a good valve stem. My Zipp Moto wheels look like they've been hit with a shotgun blast from all the rock strikes. I think it's just going to be one of those things you'll just have to keep an eye on. Maybe swap out the valve stems every once in a while. Be...

ImmortalBach, Your tires and rims have a lot of rock scuffing. The Bosch wheel rim magnet has a large surface area. It is subject to rock strikes and can cause additional stress/leverage on the valve stem. Shit happens ya know. With time and use, a lot of stuff has likely been kicked up into...

It’ll bite you on the ass every time….😊

Tubby, Is this a new headset? I've found that sometimes a new headset will feel too tight due to new bearing tolerances, lower crown seal and top seal friction, etc. Everything may need to break in a little bit. I'd suggest running the headset tight for one ride. Give things a good shake up...

N16BS, I'm sorry about the delay in sending you the requested pictures. My brother now has my Rise and he was away for the weekend. Here are the pictures you requested. My brother likes to wash his bike once a year, whether it needs it or not....I feel like a parent seeing their child being...

N16BS, The non-drive side (left) rear axle nut has an indentation and a small rubber "O" ring mounted on the shoulder of the axle nut. The rear axle nut must be aligned with a small nub that is machined into the seat stay on alloy and carbon models. It's been a while since I've worked on...

LParker3, That's awesome to hear and great news.

Brother, half the fun in mountain biking is the "Slippery Slope" of aftermarket mods, just ask my wife....wahoo!!! On second thought, don't ask her... I think the Rise is a very versatile "Trail" bike. In stock form, the bike is a capable trail bike. There are not that many eBikes out there...

Yes, you are correct, the 2023 Rise manual does not call for a cylindrical retaining compound. Interestingly, Orbea lists the Loctite 600 series cylindrical retain compound on page 7, but it does not show it being applied anywhere on the bike. Why list it if it's not used anywhere? You can...

LParker3, I was honestly surprised to discover the 2023 Rise Hydro did not receive the new upper linkage design. I'd mistakenly thought both models had received the updated pivot axle assembly. For 2024, Orbea gave the Rise Hydro the newer two piece upper pivot axle and linkage arm design...

LParker3, I have yet to work on a 2023 Rise. So I am cautious when I say that much of my linkage papers on servicing bearings and lubricating the pivot axles will apply. The 2023 Rise uses the same bearings as the 2020-2022 Rise models. The basic design of the linkage on the 2023 Rise is the...

Link, From your description, it's possible you are using the incorrect brake caliper adapter. What size brake rotor are you trying to run on your Rise, i.e., 200mm or 203mm? If I know this, I can give you the correct brake caliper adapter part number. It's important to first know that the...

Link, I can confirm with 100% certainty that a 203mm rotor will fit on an Orbea Rise Carbon for the 2020-2022 year models. I ran a 203mm rotor off of the back of my Rise for 4,800 Km and had no issues. This also applies to the H series alloy models for 2022. Here is a picture of my Rise with...
