    Max seatpost Insertion on a Rise?

    Medium frame, I've got about 2" of seatpost showing and the saddle keeps hitting me in the arse. I've got 240mm stack and looking on the One Up site, that gets me a 210mm post shimmed down to 200. It states the insert depth as 297mm. Anyone know whether it'll go that deep in a medium frame? I...

    Rise Up - What are your upgrades?

    Already done! That's where I was conflicted, seeing as the hoses/ levers were already Deore, I could have got SLX calipers for the same money as I paid for the set of Deores seeing as I didn't need the new levers/ hoses anyway. I decided to keep them and as you say, for the calipers. The twin...

    Rise Up - What are your upgrades?

    I can play this game now, I collected my H30 on Tuesday and spent yesterday tinkering. So far, Swapped the Dissector from front to back and fitted a 2.5wt Minion DHF Maxxgrip up front. Set both up tubeless. Had to use the old 'inner tube in to seat the bead' trick as they weren't going...

    Frame Protection Wrap for a Rise?

    Aaaand, it's done. Gave up on the idea of doing it last night as it was getting fairly late by the time I'd fitted and bled the brakes so got onto it first thing this morning. Would have oreffered to be riding it today but defo didn't want to have to clean it to fit the wrap. Only took a...

    Frame Protection Wrap for a Rise?

    Thanks everyone. I went with Invisiframe in the end. Next day delivery and slightly cheaper so win win. Picked the bike up yesterday afternoon and have been tinkering today with upgrading various things. Also meant to have been finishing a nursery so DIY, bike, DIY, bike, DIY, bike all day...

    Will it Rise to the occasion?

    Downside to that for me would be having to buy an iPhone! So the iPhone links to the garmin and while the garmin shows you the route, the iPhone tells you where you're going? Does that need an app on the phone? Or is it something built into the IOS?

    Frame Protection Wrap for a Rise?

    Is that what you've used? Is it better than than the Ride Wrap? How was the fitting? Was the kit well made? Did it need any trimming to get it on?

    Frame Protection Wrap for a Rise?

    Anyone fitted frame protection to their rise? Specifically, I'm looking at the Ride Wrap kit (Tailored). Has anyone any experience of fitting or general quality? I'll be fitting it myself so any feedback on the fitting process would be good. Any long term users that can offer experience of...

    Will it Rise to the occasion?

    1760g is a good weight, are the JRA Traildogs? I'm sure they're build around Bitex hubs. If I wasn't so impatient zid have had those over the Hunts but the Trail Wide were in stock, the Traildog weren't. I think I actually am you lol. I've been eying up the Garmin 530 so I don't have to rely on...

    Will it Rise to the occasion?

    Didn't realise that you could add the bite point adjustment. Having small hands I do tend to use that to bring the levers in a bit. Discs/ hubs are centrelock? I don't know whether to order some larger rotors for the time being or whether to wait until I get new wheels (which will almost...

    Will it Rise to the occasion?

    Ok, maybe you're not me. Maybe I'm you instead. Either way, I reckon we're both awesome. It had already been pointed out to me that the hoses on the brakes were different. Clearly I need telling twice. There's not actually much in it price wise between a pair of calipers and a full set of...

    Will it Rise to the occasion?

    Are you me? Lol Hunt Trail Wides are already on the radar. Been running them for 2 years in my hardtail and find it really hard to look passed them in terms of value for money. OK, for another £150ish you could get some DTs on 350s or 240s if you shop around. They come in at about the same...

    Will it Rise to the occasion?

    Ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls. Exciting news. Thanks for the input so far. It really has been a great help. Despite very nearly buying a Reign E+1 MX Pro yesterday from the Giant store, today I went to a local(ish) shop to have a look at an H30. I came away having left a deposit and am...

    Will it Rise to the occasion?

    Which pike did you have? If it feels amazing vs the Ultimate/ Charger then I'm sold. If it feels amazing vs the RC then I'm not surprised lol. I reckon falling down the stairs feels better than the RC. I'm fact, I reckon they feel fairly similar.

    Will it Rise to the occasion?

    This does help. Thank you. Obviously, Surrey Hills is big area and the elevation gain per ride can vary massively but to have found people of similar weight riding the exact same stuff that I do has been really insightful. I've been eyeing up the H15 as it's only about £600 more than the H30...

    Will it Rise to the occasion?

    This is all really good info, thank you. Spec wise the M10 looks awesome. Budget creep is a terrible thing lpl

    Will it Rise to the occasion?

    This is a good point, thank you. Generally I rode alone so quite happy with the reduced power output. Its literally just the battery/ range thing that's snagging in my head.

    Will it Rise to the occasion?

    I've seen that and it's a fantastic deal. They also had an H15 for £4399 but when I emailed, it was already reserved.

    Will it Rise to the occasion?

    I guess that's about normal for an average ride for me. I tend to only get out at the weekend and if I do go local during the week, I definitely don't need assistance. Where I live is boring, flat and unbearably muddy with even the lightest sprinkling of rain. Not fun mud either, the horrible...

    Will it Rise to the occasion?

    That's a really good insight, thank you. It's helpful/ not helpful though lol. You make a really good argument for both! I think to summarise what you've said and what I'm thinking, the M is probably ok for what I want but the H is definitely everything I need. The last post I replied to...
