Ronald, What the others mentioned above is correct. To add further, you will need to add oil to three (3) places on the fork. Below are the oils, locations and required amounts. Fox 36 GRIP2: 1) Dampener side of fork: 40cc of FOX 5wt. Teflon Infused oil. 2) Air side of fork, lower bath: 10cc...

ccollins, Like you, my eBike saved my life after I'd suffered a severe injury. Chasing a noise on a bike can be such a frustrating experience. It can be so many things and virtually impossible to diagnose without being there to hear or feel it. Bicycle frames by their rigid nature will...

YokoOno, Great write up, I'll give the Gold/Red combination a try.

Hello everybody, Rob a.k.a Rusty Iron and I just wrapped up another group ride to Hurricane Utah and Las Vegas Nevada. The riding was excellent. Interestingly, while on Little Creek Mesa, my buddy Dan pinch flatted and cut the sidewall on his Maxxis DHR II rear tire. We were near the middle of...

Weezerj What everybody has said above works. I would absolutely go with Shimano four piston calipers. The Deore two piston calipers are good, but inadequate for eBike use and your weight. Your Rise M20 comes from the factory with Shimano BH90 brake hose which has a straight fitting at the...

Dave, The warranty process is simple. The bike shop will submit the warranty claim. Orbea will send the bike shop the new chainstay, seatstay, linkage arm, etc. If the bike shop is handling the repair, you simply take the bike to the shop for the parts replacement. If you are doing the work...

Dave, I got a laugh out of your description, funny. Never under estimate a kid with a rusty fondue fork. I'm unsure from looking at the picture, which bore the picture depicts. The linkage arm bearing bore should be smooth. The pivot bearings in their bores should not have a crunchy/notchy...

Sir, as you know, I frequently ride with you....if I took a bivy, you'd try to climb in with me.....I'll take my chances with the bears, rattlesnakes and deranged hikers....

Steve, OneUp usually has a 20% off sale several times a year. You can sign up for Exclusive discounts and new product news on the Oneup website. They'll let you know when the discounts occur. I have not had any issue with them blowing up my mailbox. The chain plier really is a beautiful tool...

Plutohora, The Rockshox Lyric is a very good fork. Several of my friends who have Rises are using the Lyric. My buddies tell me the Lyric has better small bump compliance when compared to the Fox 36. I personally use a Fox 36. I like Fox products simply because that's what I know and...

It looks like you and I have had the same experiences with tubes. I used to carry a Schwalbe Aerothan. It worked well and felt a bit more stout material wise than the Tubolito. In my quest to save weight and compactness, I switched to the Tubolito which folds up more compact than the Aerothan. I...

Tjone, I did a three part technical article on modifying Rise brakes. Part # 2 of the series covers everything you need to know in regards to modifying the brakes on your Rise, including charts which list the part number of the caliper adapter you will need to get for each size brake rotor. The...

Hello, It's been a while since I've written a technical article. I thought I'd change it up and talk about what items I carry in my pack and why I carry them. Hopefully this article may give you some thought on what to carry in your own ride pack. What I carry, may not be what you carry. Forum...

BobR, that's good news. The cost of labor to replace a defective motor is usually covered under warranty. The only time I've heard of it not being covered under warranty is if the bike is taken to a shop different from the shop where the bike was originally purchased. The bike shop performing...

BiGJZ74, Could you go into more detail regarding what each bushing combination did in regards to handling? I would like to know more. Much appreciated. Rod

MaxLTV, My 2021 M20 came with a similar setup, i.e. Fox 34 140mm travel Grip and Fox DPS shock. I now have a little over 3,000 miles on the bike and have taken it on everything from black, double black to red trails. I discovered after only a few rides that the Fox 34 140mm fork and Fox DPS...

Swissrider, I did a three part series on Shimano brakes, maintenance and Rise brake upgrades. Part # 2 covered brake caliper adapters for the Rise. It includes an adapter chart for the Rise Carbon and Rise Hydro. https://www.emtbforums.com/threads/part-1-shimano-brake-system-service.29086/...

Plutohora, The Orbea Rise Carbon and the Orbea Rise Hydro have two different charging systems with differing colored lights to signify charging status. The two charging system are not compatible. In other words, you must use the Rise Hydro charger to charge a Hydro model and a Rise Carbon...

BobR, Unfortunately, your EP8 motor spindle is broken. It cannot be fixed. If your motor is less than two years old, it is covered under warranty. Take the bike back to your place of purchase or an Orbea dealer to have the motor replaced. Shimano does not currently offer parts replacement for...

I pre-ordered the Shuttle SL SLX/XT model. My bike shop told me the Shuttle SL, SLX/XT models were delayed and would not ship until well after September. I emailed Pivot several days ago asking for more details and was told they were waiting on parts from Fazua. Pivot added that the SLX/XT model...
