For those interested, I did a three part tech series on Shimano brakes and modifications to the Rise braking system. Part # 2 covers upgrading the Rise brake system and the parts required to do so. Part # 1: Shimano Brakes...

Chris, I'm friends with the owner of the bike shop where I bought the Pivot. He's allowing me to trade straight across for a new Levo Carbon Comp with a Rockshox ZEB 170mm Ultimate upgrade. I've also having a set of Industry Nine Enduro S alloy wheels mounted on the Levo. I received a 15%...

The Rise is such a good bike. Mine had close to 3,200 miles on it when I sold it to my brother. It's still going strong, I just got tired of riding it and wanted to try something different. I bought a Pivot Shuttle SL, which promptly broke after five rides. Fazua was having issues with sourcing...

Pivot can't do anything about it. They told me Fazua is having trouble keeping up with worldwide demand for the motors. I'm giving the bike shop two days to work off the New Year's hang over...I should get the Levo by the end of this week. Let's do a quick trip to Hurricane?

Hello, Recently I decided to switch from an Orbea Rise to a Shuttle SL with the Fazua Ride 60 motor. I purchased my Pivot Shuttle SL Pro X01 about four weeks ago. I recently took the bike on a trip to the Las Vegas area where I rode Red Rock, Spring Mountain and Bootleg Canyon riding areas...

scarl, My Rise was my first eBike. I got good at breaking the bike, then figuring out what I broke and how to make it right. Everything is more difficult the first time around. You're doing good. The more we learn. The more experience we gain. The better we become whether riding skills or...

Scarl, I’m sorry it took me so long to respond. I was on a bike trip and didn’t check my email notifications. I’ve encountered this on my Rise and my friend‘s Rises. The issue is a slightly loose connection in one of the SD-50 jumper wires. First, check the wire connections at the SC-E7000...

It came loose shortly after getting the bike and then he Loctited the linkage arm. It's holding up so far.

Hjwemtb, Yes, it is possible to mix one manufacturer's brake rotor with another manufacturer's brake caliper. Rider's do this all the time for various reasons. I have not combined a Shimano MT410 caliper with SRAM rotor. I hesitate to provide assurances it will work because I've never done it...

Cookie, I placed an order for the Pivot Shuttle SL, with Shimano SLX/XT package in July. By late November, I still hadn't received the bike. The Pro X01 and XTR models were shipping, however the SLX models were not. I emailed Pivot and inquired about the delay. Pivot notified me there was a...

It's yours. Send me a private message with your address and we'll work the logistics out.

Cookie, I have not heard anything. The 2023 Rise Blue Paper hasn't been released yet. I also checked the "Spare Parts" section on Orbea's website to get a look at the 2023 axle and linkage arms, to see if it might work. The 2023 Rise parts haven't been posted yet.

Thank you for the correction. This will save somebody buying the wrong display. Much appreciated. Here are Shimano’s compatibility charts for the EP800 and EP801 motors. They show which displays are compatible with each motor. EP800 Series Motor...

Hello, Life's too short and there are too many good bikes out there. I recently received my new eBike, a Pivot Shuttle SL, Pro X01 build. Yes, Virginia, there really is a Santa Claus! I sold my Rise M20 to my brother Rich. My brother can't ride for shit, so I'm positive I'll still be...

The above screen capture was taken directly from Shimano's website and states it's compatible. Confirm, you've actually tried this display on a Shimano EP8 motor and it didn't work?

Yes. (This was posted in error) The display will only work with the EP801. Refer to Shimano compatibility charts inked in my post below for the EP800 and EP801 motors. https://bike.shimano.com/en-US/product/component/ep8-ep801/SC-EN600.html

That is an absolutely beautiful rifle.

MAster, I hope you are enjoying your new Rise. How's the riding in Germany? For those who are following this thread, what you see pictured is the lower chain stay assembly and lower pivot axle bushing which is the slightly tan colored item seen in the small gap. MAster, the small gap is...

ebsocalmtb, When I first got my Rise, I tried the superglue the magnet to the rotor method. I had issues with the magnet overheating from direct contact with the rotor. When a magnet is exposed to higher temperatures, it will begin loosing it's magnetism. Heat in the area of 170 degrees...

Hello, This tech article will describe how to convert a Shimano "Non-Magnetic" RT-MT800 center lock brake rotor into a "Magnetic" RT-EM810 brake rotor. I hope you find this article useful. If your bike has Shimano brakes, you will have likely noticed there is a shortage of Shimano brake parts...
