My M10 came with the spacer - It comes in a small Orbea branded box along with the manuals, tubeless valves, charger etc ask your LBS to give it to you if they kept it.
@DanMcDan - a larger chainring might be your solution to the wear on the protector. It will move the chain up a little and...
Hi, I have an EP8 RS motor on firmware 4.1.2 and stunlocker app (not premium yet). If I want to change the region am I right in thinking the process is:
1. Downgrade to DU-EP800 FW 4.0.2 (using file linked in document above)
2. License stunlocker and change region
3. Use Shimano app to upgrade...
I got my 203mm RT86 from chain reaction last week. I think Amazon also had them at the time.
I went 180 rear to save an extra mount and keep it a bit cleaner. XT brakes are supposed to be pretty fade resistant, especially with the ice tech rotors.
Seems to sit on the carbon to me. I think at 160mm travel and 75° it wouldn’t really need changing, certainly haven’t noticed it being terrible going from 74° on my old bike to 75.5° on the Rise, more grip on the front if anything!
Two rides in on my Large M10 now and I'm extremely happy with it. Couple of minor upgrades (210mm OneUp dropper, DHR2 rear tyre, Shorty front, RRP Proguard, Specialized Power Arc saddle, XT ice tech rotors 203 front & 180 rear). First ride was 4000ft+ of steep up/down loam with a bunch of Levos...
The only available figures for the Rise are 115% at sag point (assume 30%). Extending the shock to add ~20mm additional travel at the start of the travel is going to bump this up to around 120%. Dropping the rear axle by adding a smaller back wheel is going to effectively raise the main pivot...
Have you thought about the effects a longer shock will have on anti squat? The rise has quite a bit at sag already (115% I have read), dropping the rear axle with a smaller wheel and extending the start of the travel could make the suspension terrible at the early to mid stroke. It would be...
