I was also thinking of getting the extender. But do want to see how long I can go with stock at first.
It seems like Orbea may have just forgotten about Canada for the Rise. There's none to be found yet I've been told.
I'm an iOS app developer and I've written a couple Apple Watch apps. Nothing to do with Bluetooth yet though, but I could learn. When I get my Rise I'll see, if there's nothing available by then, what's possible.
Heheh... speaking of medical emergency... or a non-medical emergency, my Apple Watch called emergency services by itself after I had a crash on a trail. Got it on video:
I've got XT brakes on my Santa Cruz 5010c and I like them. But they do squeal after I wash them. But they quiet up after a few hard brakes on them. Although I guess if you're riding in the wet then they'd stay wet and squeal. I found the braking performance good. But my XT brakes are 6 years...
I wish mine was only $8000. In Canada the M-10 is $12,000 CAD, which is $9,313 USD.
They need to have another factory churning out the bikes. There's lots of demands for new bikes these days. It's what kept me sane during the summer and fall. Just being able to get outside away from people and...
I'm 54 now (my avatar is me much younger it seems!). I've just sent some more feedback to the LBS to see what he says. He seemed to think again that the XL will fit me perfect. But he did say they're getting a large in January, so I asked if I could buy that one. At this point in time, I may not...
Heheh... well so far my LBS has said it's coming in July. Originally he said March, but then he said it changed. I'm hoping that it changes to earlier again though.
I've sent him a link to this thread to ask him what he thinks. These guys offer a bike fitting service, so I do trust that they...
Thanks for the feedback. I'll just have to see how it is when I get it. I've actually never ridden another mountain bike regularly than my 5010c. I test rode their Orbea Occam large around the block on the sidewalk, but not enough to get a good feel for it. So I have no idea how an XL will feel...
Now I'm a bit worried. My LBS told me, based on sizing up on a large Orbea Occam, that I should get the XL Rise. But I'm 6 feet also with 32 inseam. So I'm worried that the XL will be too large for me. My current Santa Cruz 5010c is a Large, but the LBS rep said it actually was too small for...
This is exactly the model and bike size I ordered (XL). Unfortunately my LBS said it won't be until July before I get one. I'm hoping that date changes. Where are you located? By the spelling of "tyres", I'm assuming you're in the UK? I'm in Canada. I dream of being able to get my M10 and ride...
