I did that 42 mile ride yesterday (Rise with range extender). I decided I wanted to go somewhere deep into the heart of the back country where park rangers fear to tread. I climbed up past badger pass and up to the top of N. Bell Spur near the Ortega Hot Springs and the San Juan Trail trailhead...

Well, if you like that poster, here are two other gems...... I like this one. Especially the ebike rider's shit eating grin as he's happily riding along with his dirt bike riding buddies. The grin is because he's thinking "I can't believe I'm doing this poster, but I'm getting paid, the hell...

I think the rock group "Five Man Band" was on to something when they sang their song "Signs." Sign, sign, everywhere a sign Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

I had a bad accident and now have a permanent disability in my right ankle/foot which is why I now ride an eBike. I live in Orange County, California which is extremely restrictive towards eMTB access to trails and very anti eBike in general. I've attached the following information below for...

Bigkatoomer, How's it going brother? I had the exact same issue when I installed my AXS. The problem is that when the derailleur was installed and tightened, it was not rotated fully forward against the derailleur hanger. The trick is to loosen up the derailleur's mounting bolt and rotate the...

Soundwave, Adjusting your AXS derailleur with your bike depressed to the sag percentage you are using is important to smooth shifting. You can do the B-Gap adjustment at sag without somebody sitting on the bike. Here's how I do it. The rear shock on a Rise is 210mm x 55mm. I like to run my...

Paske, I’m sorry to see the damage to your bike. Totally sucks my friend. You should not ride your bike further in it’s current state. The damage looks severe. The top tube is the main structural component on you frame. Additionally, the rear shock mounts in the area where the damage is. This...

I was also surprised by how easy the grease diluted. You would think all greases would be waterproof. I also found it interesting that some greases remained intact when hit and other greases were destroyed by the blow. The take away is that greases are not all the same. At your suggestion, I...

I looked into buying several different brands of grease including Chemsearch and Almagard. Trying to buy the product was difficult as you had to buy directly from the company by submitting a purchase order. Schaeffers grease was more easily obtained and can be bought via Amazon or eBay. In both...

I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. Where I ride, it's dry as hell and the dirt is like fine talcum powder. It works it's way into the linkage and dries the grease out fast. I also wash my bike frequently, so there's that too. I know somebody is going to say they wash their bike once a year...

aarfeldt, thank you for giving me the heads up. I hadn't thought to check Shimano's website.

I've done three updates since getting my bike in early September 2021. I have 1,200 miles on my bike with no issues from doing the updates. Shimano doesn't mention what the updates are for. I'm guessing the updates pertain to battery management or something motor related. If you decide to do...

Orbea used to sell the drop out, bearing and C clip. I don't see it listed anymore. If your C clip is mangled, let me know. I still have a used spare which is in very good shape. I'll mail it to you.

Squirt the retaining clip and the groove with some WD-40. Take a round punch and tap the bearing inwards several times to insure the bearing is fully seated and not hard up against the C clip. Use two really thin flat tip screwdrivers or a screw driver and a dental pick. Those small eyeglass...

Mteam, The left, (non-drive side) drop out is held in place with a rubber "O"ring. It's a tight tolerance fit. The retaining clip you see in the parts diagram is used to hold the bearing in place on the swing arm. To remove the left side drop out, remove your rear wheel. Partially thread your...

Does anybody know how to do this?

I would so love to ride Dartmoor someday. Beautiful country.

Dan, I had the same issue with my Rise and I only have 1,800 kilometers on my bike. The bearings were very tight in the frame and it took some force to remove the bearings. I have several different tools which I use to remove bearings. My main go to is a metric & standard, OTC #4410, Master...
