For those who have upgraded to di2 rear derailleur, any hints, gotchas, recommendations on fitting the wire?
‘23 Orbea Urrun. I will be running a 700mm sd300 cable from the motor following the route of the derailleur cable, and I’m wondering if anyone has used a rubber grommet or some such for...
You might not need a cable. I’d start by fetching the blue paper for your bike at https://www.orbea.com/us-en/support/manuals/
If yours is like my ’23 Urrun, there will be two cables coupled together at/inside the stem (headset cabling system) one from the switch and one from the motor. The...
I might give this a try - I’ve got CS-LG700-11 50T chainring and CUES U8000 series derailleur and shifter, SC-EN600 display/SW-EN600-L switch. Do I need anything besides:
Shifter SW-EN605-R
Derailleur RD-U8050-SGS
[edit] seems the CUES tech isn’t released yet - can go with the XT gear...
Rudy Project, they have glasses that take Rx inserts and readily-swapable lenses, including photochromic. I have two pairs that take the same insert, second pair just because I had the insurance benefits to burn.
I didn’t get quite the straight “yes” answer out of Orbea when I asked whether the RS GEN 2 MC firmware can be installed on the first gen RS bikes (Rise, Urrun, … ?), though their response was effectively “yes”:
“This firmware update you are referring to can only be performed by an authorized...
This is all great information, thanks much. I’ve kept eco/trail/boost in profile 1 at the RS defaults of 150w/250w/350w and just changed the max for fine tune from 600w to 500w, will see if I miss that last 100w, but sounds like 600w isn’t unreasonable.
I haven’t used the extender yet - I...
I needed new lenses for existing frames, and since my insurance allowed me to use my unused frame allowance for sunglasses, I bought some Rudy Project Cutlines with 9%-74% LTV photochromic lenses that take an Rx insert. My regular glasses are photochromic as well.
A few months later, new...
I have the same one but as with so much stuff from Amazon-slash-China, different brand. It’s served me well for three years, until few weeks ago when I twisted the head off of a water cage bolt on my brand new Orbea when mounting the range extender cage! If I were limber enough I’d have...
When I added a light to my Rail, I hadn’t realized that enabling the feature meant that a certain percentage of battery was reserved for the lighting (EU requirement … like two hours worth, based on output of the lighting?). My 625wh Bosch battery got down to 11% and that was that. I had...
[edit: I just realized in original post I didn’t specify I had the EP801-RS gen 1 - doh!]
Ah, cool, I love the Urrun! In May I ordered the last ‘23 Urrun 30 they had, took delivery in June, and have been on my Rail just once since then. It’s a good all’rounder, exactly what I was looking for...
The motor isn‘t juiced, nor is it hacked (it‘s the stock, unmodified firmware). The EP801-RS and EP-801 are the same motor. There may be some subtleties in the power delivery between RS FW and non-RS FW but I don‘t have an out-of-the-box full-fat EP801 to compare it to. And I’m reading on...
Anyone heard yet whether the new firmware will be available for the older models?
I removed the torque/power limit already (via emax), but looking for a Shimano- or Orbea-sanctioned solution.
eMTBs definitely change the game for us old guys, especially when your average rides
start at 2k vert. I haven’t ridden Tahoe but I have access to a condo at Kirkwood (my home mountain for skiing) and have been itching to go up.
I have one of my klunkers, stepson has another. ‘40 schwinn...
Lots of e-bikes on south side of Tam and adjacent county open space where l they’re prohibited supposed ti be prohibited. North side of Tam is mainly water district, no e-bikes, but that’s about to change, at least for a pilot period. I haven’t ridden much on that side, except for Eldridge...
More or less the same but the ocean is right there so not as hot. Depending on temps I can choose coast side or inland side.
As far as legal trials go it’s mainly fire roads, in GGNRA (from GG bridge to mt tam) it’s more dirt, loose dirt, some rain ruts, geology of mt Tam can be more rocky...
