    Orbea Rise Custom M10

    That’s great that! How are you finding it now? Do you find the 150 travel enough vs the larger found on FF? I guess with it being lighter it’s not required and on that point did you change the brakes, rotors or tyres?

    Rise M10 vs M20

    I really should start with the mtb yoga! Tour is probably my main now so that 2/4. Concerns are mainly as it would be nice to be able to have only one bike if it came down to it and sell the Wild rather than still need the FF for bigger days etc, I’m not sure but the range extender as an...

    Rise M10 vs M20

    185 Ibs myself without gear on, if it was a Bosch motor then I’d know for sure 60nm is plenty but since the shimano appears weaker (Judging by very few videos is seems more like 52nm of ‘Bosch’ equivalent power) then it’s a fair drop from the 85nm. I’ve abit of a dilemma as I’ve a slipped disc...

    Edit: some humans here have strange capabilities that render them ‘sweatless’...when your in this special god like 1%, grip is unchallenged, those hands remain drier than a camels ass no matter what and gloves are a mere hinderance pah! Sadly.....I started gloveless but now with gloves my...

    Rise M10 vs M20

    That’s great thanks? If I’m to buy it comes next month, I went for an XL with a request for a smaller dropper as I’m 6ft but seem to slot better (shorter legs) The only other reason not to buy (other than missus still unaware of £7k purchase ahem!) would be the daft crank issue and the fact...

    Best storage solution for tools/water recommendation

    Hey guys, Just trying to work out the best way to carry tools, water etc. Should we focus more on weighting the rider or the bike, perhaps rider since the bike is easier to handle? I’d seen items like: Lezyne Flow Storage Bottle Cage HYSENM Waterproof Large Capacity Bicycle Triangle Bag...

    Any other lightweight bikes coming?

    How about the Bosch 80nm 16.5kg wonderbike? Edit: maybe subject to being invented/created/xyz.....but surely they have to be releasing one some day!

    Rise M10 vs M20

    Great work! I also did one but yours is better, are you in possession of the M10 and if so how do you rate it via a full fat? I’ve an Orbea Wild and have a deposit on an M10 but I’m still on the fence a bit since I own an Orbea Wild

    LETS SEE YOUR RIDE FOOTAGE

    heres my offering from a coaching session I had yesterday, made plenty of rookie errors and was out of my comfort zones loads but happy I managed to (survive!) get through it! ? I’ve made the video so I can learn a few editing skills for when I start to use my GoPro (bad luck charm!) again...

    Stockport noob.

    Try ukbikedepot in Halifax or mtbmonster in Blackburn, Orbea wild could be another option

    Stockport noob.

    Cubes are a perfect starter bike tbh, they come pretty much best bang for buck also and with the 27.5 inch wheels they turn easier also, but not quite as good at going uphill but I was thinking Cube

    Stockport noob.

    Just check your local shops and try to stay local ideally And try to get a Bosch motor with a 625w battery, you can use more turbo mode when it’s needed, it’s the most powerful and pretty reliable with good support

    Warranties on second hand bikes?

    Thats true, the levos are super expensive so maybe unfair to expect the same level of cover when comparing to some brands but fact remains if you bought a second hand levo for more money, your likely to get most your cash back and sell it swiftly later because of the transferable warranty...it...
