Aluminum M5 bolts? Jeeze that's pretty ridiculous. Motor bolts are also aluminum, they've started deforming with only one removal. Hopefully I won't need another!
I also don't at all understand the obsession with specifying no washers? That seems like a really strange pedantic detail to focus...
Why a Storia instead of an Arma? Do you use a climb switch?
(for others who are not familiar, the Arma has a user adjustable hydraulic bottom out control (HBC), the Storia has a fixed HBC tune (adjustable via disassembly) but with a climb switch...which seems wasted on an ebike and just...
Yes, I have them. In fact I managed to tear one when replacing the dropper so I wouldn't mind being able to replace it. They're pretty fragile. Kind of a strange part, it looks like a bearing seal, not sure what the point is as there's nothing to seal.
It's not the same part. Alloy spacer looks totally different. EDIT: never mind, I get it now. I was looking at the "Crank Chainring Seal" and I thought that was the "spacer" folks were removing on the alloy cranks.
I don't think Orbea installs the cranks. My Rise, built by Jenson USA, appears to have had the cranks installed by them. The white grease on the spindle matches the grease used throughout the rest of the build. Just to be clear, Jenson is delivering fully built bikes using a service called...
Thank you for posting the manual, much appreciated. In an ideal world bikes would come with the relevant docs and accessories. In the real world more than once I've purchased a bike and received literally the bike, only, and nothing else. Super frustrating.
The thickness of the tool is they key issue. It has to fit *inside* the e*thirteen chainring/spider. The Park LRT-2 is definitely thicker than the Shimano one. Hopefully it fits!
Preface: I have all the "right" tools for doing this. I have the lockring tool obviously. I also have an internal...
Guys please it would be super helpful to stop polluting this thread with the info about the aluminum cranks that's already documented in several other threads. Maybe it's not clear but us carbon crank owners have ZERO info, not even torque specs.
My TL-FC39 arrived early, yay! I can confirm it works fine, motor is out, dropper cable housing is in. Just to clarify I use a Park Tool BBT-69.2 to turn the TL-FC39. That is to say the TL-FC39 interface requires a BB tool to use it. This allows me to use a torque wrench.
Yep, tagged them twice but no reply so far. I suspect the issue has grown into a conversation between Orbea and e*thirteen if people are getting their cranks replaced with a different brand under warranty...so we may have to wait for an "official" statement.
On the other hand providing basic...
I contacted Orbea directly to ask what the correct tool is and they pointed me to E*Thirteen ?♂️ This tool doesn't even have the same number of engagement points (12 on the tool, 16 on the lockring) so I don't think it's the right one.
My TL-FC39 won't arrive until next week, apparently it...
