    Broken “bottom bracket” like part on EP8 RS on my M10

    Really glad I am covered… Orbea swapped the cranks to Shimano on my wife’s M Team so she should be ok too. Thank you Rod

    Broken “bottom bracket” like part on EP8 RS on my M10

    I have seen all the e 13 banter but this is the shaft going into the crank that broke… I thought that was the teeth on the crank… guess I was wrong??

    Broken “bottom bracket” like part on EP8 RS on my M10

    I posted this on the Shimano specific forum but it might be unique to the RS? This is a 2021, ideas? Is this part replaceable by itself?

    Can this part be replaced? This is on an 2021 Orbea Rise M10

    Orbea Rise sizing

    This bike is an all trail vs. an XC and the geometry keeps you from flying over the handlebars for steeper down hills. I really enjoy it and am not afraid of any rollable drop with it.

    Orbea Rise sizing

    I really like my XL and I am 6’1.5” with relatively short legs and a longer upper body… I like the fact that there is something out in front of me especially when doing bigger drops…

    When you pass 50 . . . You are an old fart, so let's see your ride!

    59, Florida and North Carolina, Orbea Rise M10, wife has the M-Team, have never taken the time to take pictures so much but I want to be like Dave 80 when I grow up! I still occasionally ride my analog Specialized hard tail in the flats of Florida.

    My brand new Orbea Rise M10 has a very noticeable motor drag

    Orbea gave me them as my wife’s bike was suppose to come with carbon cranks but the e13 versions were failing so she had aluminum ones.. the Shimano cranks were their replacement solution

    My brand new Orbea Rise M10 has a very noticeable motor drag

    On my wife M-Team when they swapped the cranks from e-13 to Shimano the lbs left a washer in that prevented the crank from free spinning backwards… the Shimano cranks did not need it and when I took it out the cranks would freely spin backwards… wander if you have something similar?

    Is Orbea Rise M up to the task?

    I charge my battery in the hotel room all the time… most hotels, especially where people ride, have no problem letting you bring your baby, I mean bike:) in the room.

    Is Orbea Rise M up to the task?

    My wife has an M-Team and I have an M10 and we have now had them more than a year… I ride mine at least twice a week and all our vacations since COVID’s have been mtb trips in the mountains… I ride the Pinhoti Mtns. Especially Bear Creek a lot and the only problem I have every had is Ripping...

    Camping with eBikes

    I currently lock mine in my camper but have been looking at ways to keep them locked on my rack inside a big bag so people cannot see what kind of bikes are there. The problem with a really nice bag is that people will conclude there are really nice bikes in the bag… looking for a bag that is...

    Warning: Do not buy your bike from JensonUSA

    If Jensen can sell online why can’t all other LBS?

    Warning: Do not buy your bike from JensonUSA

    I purchased my wife’s Rise M Team from Jensen as it was the only place I could get one in a reasonable timeframe and I saved 700 dollars in tax… I would have bought local as I did purchase my M10 through an LBS

    Orbea rise - motor dead after firmware update

    I am a software developer by trade and I guess that Shimano does not spend much time testing and dealing with all the possibilities on how a firmware update could be interrupted for the RS version compared to standard based on population of motors… as mentioned before, do everything you can to...

    Opinion on Orbea changing cranks for cheaper than spec

    My tourque wrench set came with this and I did not even have to remove the chain

    My brand new Orbea Rise M10 has a very noticeable motor drag

    I have the same bike, M10 XL and on flat it is faster off than in first level of assistance and only come in to play when on an incline. I will go off power assist sometimes and get drag but it is because I have collected moss or pine needles in either the gears or the hubs.
