Thanks!
I've come to realize, that I've been running the 2.4 Eddy Current Front as a rear tire - that's why I can't find a 2.4 EC rear, because they've never made one! The rear 29 is 2.6 only.
I'm not into the rear tire (2.6) wider than the front tire (2.4) thing, so I'll likely keep running it...
I'm a big fan of the 29x2.4 Eddy Current, but those are currently unavailable. Perhaps discontinued, as I don't see it on the Schwalbe USA website and I have an email inquiry into Schwalbe.
Can anyone confirm that the 29 x2.6 Eddy Current rear fits without chainstay clearance issues?
thanks.
At 75 kg (165 lb) and a 43 lb M20, I rate the bike as "mildly flexy" on my personal experience completely-subjective flexometer scale.
There is mild rear-end wag which I notice sometimes in hard cornering through technical terrain. It's by no means disconcerting to me and I think the bike...
Rod,
How do you track miles/hours? I haven't been able to figure that out via the shimano app.
My prior ebike had the shimano handlebar display which provided such things.
thanks
I'm with you. While you had a pleasant CS experience overall, Orbea should pick up the cost of repair if under warranty.
I'm glad you're at least now good to go and it was taken care of quickly for not "too much"
That noise can be coming from anywhere.
My Rise has a fairly constant "click" under high torque - but only when the temps are above 80. It's silent when cooler- which leads me to believe I have a slightly dry bearing affected at certain temps. I've checked and relubed, lock-tighted, torque...
I'll second the recommendation for MTX pads.
Compared with Shimano metallic, both pads are much quieter and offer better modulation.
I went through a brake pad journey recently with both red & gold mtx, as well as the blue DH ceramic pads from Hard Headed Ram
Agreed, MTX red is dead silent and...
I run Push 11.6 on My Rise. It's fantastic and handles everything I can possibly throw at it. Local Rocky mtn trails are fairly technical and chunky. I have 11.6 on several of my bikes, so I'm admittedly a big fan.
Note: 11.6 only fits Rise size L & XL because the coil hits frame on the S & M.
It looks like that app would provide good info. Steps app offers a bit more, but I agree that mode and battery percentage are the most useful data field, which that app applies.
The Garmin e-steps connectivity provides more and better info than the Shimano EM800 display.
however, the Garmin -Shimano functionality isn't loaded into the 130.
I use the Edge 830 which works great.

More expensive option, but excellent insurance and available. I keep one in my pack

Tire options are endless.
Here in loose, rocky front range Colorado, dissector on the rear is acceptable when brand new, but scary once it wears. And e-bike tires wear fast. When I bought my Rise, I immediately sold the Rekon, moved Dissector to rear and replaced the front with an Assegai

I agree that the OEM Fox 34 is underwhelming. So is the stock shock. the combo of both combines to bottoming.
I replaced fork with a 150 coil-converted Lyrik and the rear with Push 11.6. OEM SLX brakes were replaced with Saints, and dropper with a 180 post from OneUp
My m20 bike is immensely...
No problem fitting the 180 OneUp dropper in my medium m20. During installation I had seatpost at max insertion although I ride with seatpost about 1" up from max.
Your understanding is correct. For saved "courses" I get audible directions.
It works via the iOS Garmin app connected via BT to the Garmin 830.
I'd wager it works the same for Android devices as well
Sounds like a great trip. I live close to Longmont - if time allows, there's fantastic riding up at South St Vrain/Sourdough area, or a bit north in Fort Collins is Horestooth park.
Yeah, you'll have zero worries on Monarch. I bet you could do it twice on stock battery if you pace the battery...
