Orbea drives me crazy in regards to emailing them a tech question. Very frustrating and rarely a response of any substance. It's the reason I've posted all the tech articles. I figure I can save "My peeps" the headache of dealing with Orbea. Yea Boy!

Alan, I would be extremely cautious using Orbea's advice in regards to backing out the preload tool a few threads and using it as a strike point to drive out the axle. I've never done this method, it may work well. I'm concerned with this advice. As you know, the threads on the pre-load tool and...

Awesome brother!!!!

Shinysideup, There are basically two forms of suspension used on most suspension forks. They are coil spring and air spring. Coil spring forks, like the Marzoochi Z1 offer a very plush suspension feel. Coil forks tend to be set and forget and are uncomplicated to setup. The trade off is that...

I'll bet that tickled...

Age: 63 City: Orange California or Hurricane Utah Country: United States I ride about 3,000 miles a year on my mountain bike, currently an Orbea Rise.

Summer time in Orange County, California gets hot. It rains here once a year whether it needs to or not. Early morning rides typically start off cool at around 27c. By mid ride it'll typically reach around 35-38c. I like to use two lightweight ride kits for hot weather. Both are very...

theremotejuggernaut theremotejuggernaut, If you can get the H15 for £600, I would not hesitate to buy the H15 instead, it's money well spent. When you examine the Orbea Rise line both M and H, you can see that they were going after two forms of riding. They are cross country and trail. The H30...

YokoOno, Thank you for responding. That's such great news in regards to the battery. Unfortunately, we'll only be in Salida for the day. Canyon Creek Loop sounds like a bad ass ride. I like a good suffer fest ride. My buddy has a house in Hurricane Utah where we'll be starting out. We plan on...

I have a question which I am hopeful the Rise group can help me with. Mid September, my buddies and I will be doing a 12 day mountain bike road trip across the United States from California to Bentonville Arkansas. Along the way, we will be stopping at various locations to ride, including...

The M20 is perfect if your rides tend to average in the low 32ish km distance and 1,150 meters of climbing. If you tend to do a lot more distance or elevation gain, then go with the H30. Keep in mind, you’re a much lighter rider than I am, so you will be able to increase distance and elevation...

Report theremotejuggernaut, I have the M20 which I've ridden for the last 4,200 Km. You cannot go wrong with the Rise as a bike, for the money, it's a really good bike. Add a few performance upgrades and it becomes exceptionally good. As you know, there's very little difference between the...

KGA109, The Rise has a known issue with the linkage arms loosening up and shifting on the splined upper pivot axle. The Rise requires a correct preload on the upper splined axle and pivot linkage arms. When the linkage arms loosen up and move on the splined axle, the pre-load loosens up and...

In the United States, there are special interest hiking groups such as the Sierra Club that actively fight to keep eBikes off of trails across America. The Sierra Club has massive lobbying power and huge financial backing. In general, these hiking groups hate all forms of mountain biking and do...

Alan, It's just a 180 degree flip of the threaded side of the upper axle to the right, drive side of the bike. Everything else stays exactly the same. My bike also came with the threaded side of the upper axle mounted on the left side. Personally, I don't think it matters, however the Orbea...

Tuna, As Yogi the Bear once said, "You need to be smarter than the average bear." Take a page from Yogi's playbook and think outside the box. Use the system against the very people who are using the system to prevent you from accessing public trails on your eBike. Please don't sell the bike...

You got this brother. Shoot me a message if you have any questions, I'll help you out.

Alan, One of the issues which Rise owners are experiencing after a period of use is the loosening of the linkage arms on the splined upper pivot axle. This is attributed to wear occurring between the splined aluminum upper axle and splined aluminum interface on each linkage arm. When the...

cosas_genericas, In the photo of my previous post and also down below, do you see the threaded black plastic ring with the ears around the circumference? Sometimes the ears will weaken and no longer firmly hold the on/off switch in the frame. When you hit rough trail, the switch pops out of the...
