    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Lyric=Yari. They're the same other than the chassis. Air spring, damper etc. The Yari is a bit heavier. Otherwise the same. They never used to list one for the Revelation, only the Pike. I put the 'Pike' damper into my Rev. Still going strong after a thousand miles (no singing at the back)...

    Orbea Rise brake rotor upgrade and W101 error code

    What discs were fitted by the mechanic? You either need something woth a built in magent or you'll have to add one. My Rise came with a disc that had the magent built in. It couldn't be swapped to another disc. I bought a Shimano EM800 (xt level ice tech with a magnet built in). You can buy...

    Is this time of year bad to buy a new eMTB?

    If you want a bargain, now is usually a good time to buy. With the new models coming in, there's usually discounts on current models. Unless there's a new motor of some new fancy tech, new models are usually worse than the previous year in terms of spec. Inflation/ shrinkflation means the new...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    I can highly recommend a Fast Components Up damper for it to rid yourself of the horror that is the modern day MoCo. Cheaper than a Charger and feels just as nice.

    Perpetual motion machine???

    I'd say more self sustained than perpetual but still a nice idea. We either need better solar panels or more efficient batteries. I wonder which will come first?

    504wh / EP8

    I have a Rise with 540w battery so only slightly larger than what you're looking at. Last 2 rides have been 32 miles/ 3000' climbing and 27 miles with 4700' of climbing. Both in the Peak District. 32 miles/ 3000' I finished with 41% left. 27 miles/ 4700' I finished with 15% left. Generally...

    Rise Up - What are your upgrades?

    Needs more orange. Seat post clamp and some grips with orange collars. Maybe some orange valves on the wheels. I say that, my bike is orange and I'm not keen on it lol I wish I could have found a grey one locally.

    Surrey hills any good?

    Sounds like a good day! Did you plan route in the end? Or just see where the trails took you?

    Please help me choose a bike!

    If you're in the UK, the Canyon will be free of tax when you buy it butcid have thought you'll need to pay VAT and import duty once it get here. There are online calculators that will give you an idea. I would personally avoid that situation at all costs. If (when?) something goes wrong...

    Max seatpost Insertion on a Rise?

    Well, I finally got around to fitting the 180mm OneUp post this afternoon. First thing to report is that the overall length of the post below the collar was almost exactly the same as the Orbea 150mm post. I was able to fully insert the 180 into my medium sized H. It did get tight about 2...

    Surrey hills any good?

    I'm struggling to upload gpx files for some reason. If you want to message me your email I can send you a couple of routes that I've done which take in some of the trails around Pitch/ Holmbury Hill(s). I've also got a few longer loops which take in a few trails along the way. Anywhere from...

    Surrey hills any good?

    What type of riding are you after? Shuttling up and riding back down all day or a nice loop with some trails thrown in?

    Rise H30 brake upgrade?

    Pretty sure 420s use the BH59 hose so you could use those instead if you don't want to change the hoses. My H30 came with M6100 levers and calipers along with BH90 hose which is different to the advertised spec so If you want 4 piston brakes, I'm pretty sure the MT420 calipers work with the...

    Major service, Raceface Turbine warranty issue

    What was wrong with it that it needed replacing? Not sure which country you're in but if the bike is still under warranty and you're in the UK, it's down to the retailer to provide the warranty. It's then up to the retailer to deal with the manufacturer and if they're difficult, it's kind of...

    I upgraded to sintered pads. Are my rotors going to explode?

    It's been a thing for years. Generally on low end discs. Definitely low end Shimano have been resin only for a long time. Cheaper metal used in the discs doesn't like rapid increases in temperature associated with metallic pads. Metallic pads are more abrasive than resin so are better paired...

    How do you lube chain on ebike?

    Remove chain, chuck into melted putoline. Swish it around a bit. Remove, wipe, leave to dry. Fit chain. Ride bike. Repeat every now and then.

    I'm thinking Photochromatic sunglasses?

    I bought some cheap Carnac branded glasses from Planet X and think they're great. They were about £40 I think. Not sure how much that helps you over in America land... I find them really useful where my riding takes me through woods and shaded areas. If I'm out in the open all day, I'll...

    To clip or not to clip

    I have similar issues with narrow shoes. I can't quite understand why shoe manufacturers can't make a show that actually the shape of a foot! I've got some Mavic boots which work quite well, still a little narrower than I'd like but I went up a size and can (and often do) ride in those all day...

    To clip or not to clip

    £100?? M520s are all you need. ~£40ish. Or even cheaper (and lighter), Boardman from Halfords. About £25
