    Orbea Rise Cascade Component Link

    I have a cascade link ordered. I'm going to put it on my XL rise that is setup as a mullet, I am running a 216x63 (8.5x2.5) DHX2 with a single offset bushing. I plan on continuing the mullet setup, and using the DHX2 travel reduction spacer feature to space the shock down to 214x60.5, if the...

    Rise H30... Awful rattle

    This is just shimano ep8 rattle imo. you said the following: "It's worse while pedalling and even worse peddling while seated over rough ground." and "I can't replicate the noise in smooth ground at any speed. There's no banging or clocking when hitting a single object like a root or a kerb...

    Brake swaps on a 22 Rise H15 ?

    Then you'll be absolutely fine. If you've ever fished cable through an internally routed bike that isn't fully sleeved... you'll do fine here. Just heed my advice and finish the install, tighten down the battery and check clearances before you re-install the motor. The whole area around the...

    Brake swaps on a 22 Rise H15 ?

    pretty simple, but requires removal of the motor/battery and a lot of patience to fish the rear brake hose through the nds chainstay. pay careful attention to the orientation of the speed sensor in that location as that can be a significant barrier to getting the rear brake hose through. My...

    Orbea Rise Mullet

    @COL Weyland I am using 2mm offset bushings. I am running a 2022 DHX2 in 8.5x2.5. I don't know if this shock is actually 216mm long or 215mm long. To be honest, I think it's all semantics of how it's rounded and that all of these are essentially 216mm as 8.5 inches converts to 215.9mm. I...

    Orbea Rise Mullet

    I run a 2021 dhx2 on my XL 2019-2020my carbon rise. I run a single offset bushing in the high speed rebound side which is bolted up to the yoke. It seemed to me, that the area around the top eyelet of the shock would get too close to the frame if I had the offset bushing in that side. I do...

    55mm chainline

    I am running the shimano 104bcd adapter and chainring (SM-CRE80-12-B which has a 53mm chain line) on my rise with a funn chainguide. This is the one Shimano STEPS SM-CRE80-12-B Chainring | Jenson USA That being said, I've run 53 and 55 chain line's on both sram and shimano 12spd...

    Do you clean & lube your brake pistons?

    If you ride a lot of miles, you will need to do this. I bought spacers for all brake types/brands from a seller on etsy that make it rather easy. Code/guide brakes will especially need this with time in order to keep them feeling great... provided your bleed and bleed methods are good, you...

    Orbea’s SIC system on 2021 rise

    I assume what you mean is that you want to convert the bike to headset cable routing, if so, the answer is no, you cannot do that on early generation rise models. In order to do that, you need to be able to use the same headset bearing in the frame on both the bottom and the top (1 - 1/2" or...

    Custom battery for Bosch Gen 4, Shimano EP801, Specialized(Brose) motors feasibility?

    they will essentially not take a custom battery. So to answer your questions: 1) yes, it's in the bms 2) depends on which bike, but again, it's bms dependent. There are some people that have accomplished this on some motors with mixed results. Some successes but with some caveats such as...

    TSDZ2 for this (currently) rigid 29'er I built?

    Have done all of that added 2 bearings on circlip side and one on chainring adapter side, used green bearing retainer loctite... still had a few 100mm axles break. I've seen 1 of the standard sized 68-73mm axles break as well on a friends gravel bike build, with the added bearings. The problem...

    TSDZ2 for this (currently) rigid 29'er I built?

    have any of you guys done tsdz2 builds on 27.5+ compatible bikes with the extended spindle version of the tsdz2?

    TSDZ2 for this (currently) rigid 29'er I built?

    The frameset you have selected is a 27.5+ and 29x2.5 compatible frame with a 73mm bottom bracket shell and fairly wide chianstay yoke for tire clearance. This means you're almost certainly going to be using an extended spindle version of the TSDZ2 because the motor housing is going to hit the...

    Orbea rise mullet—without swapping shock

    Depends on what you're after. I prefer a longer chainstay on a mullet setup then 29 if all else is equal. The offset bottom bracket drop front to rear of mullets, means to me that I don't need the assistance of a shorter chainstay to initiate manuals and weight transfer. In addition, a mullet...

    Orbea rise mullet—without swapping shock

    In my opinion, you need to do both in order to get the bb clearance that I would want. I put a 160mm fork, a 216 eye-to-eye shock with offset bushing and put 160mm cranks on mine. With all of those things done, the pedal strikes are no worse (maybe slightly better) then the stock bike with...

    Orbea rise mullet—without swapping shock

    You just need to source an 216x63 rear shock and an offset bushing. You only lose about 4mm of bb height with that conversion.

    TSDZ2 for this (currently) rigid 29'er I built?

    I've built one. You will likely snap the spindle on the motor.

    Off the shelf wheel sets for Rise M20

    Those wheels came off the early 21' M series Rises. I believe those hubs were also to be used on the bulk of the H15 series as well, but the spec changed due to availability. I couldn't tell you exactly what hubs they were, they were non-label shimano.

    Orbea Rise M10 2021 new motor

    Thanks very much for your response. That helps give me some amount of confidence that my problem may just be a failed speed sensor.
