    Urge to buy a non ebike !!! Am I crazy anyone still regularly use a non ebike

    It makes since if you ride 3-4 times per week minimum, then you have time to ride it. I say buy yourself a 28lb trail bike. I had my Ripley prior to my Rise, but in the year I’ve owned my Rise, my Ripley has only seen 4 rides. This partly do to nagging injuries and my work schedule only allowing...

    Yep. That’s what I said on my previous post #99.

    Fuel EXe TREK's new lightweight trail ebike

    It’s good to keep the pedal bike around, as long as you can afford a 9 to 10k Carbon weight collecting dust in your garage. I’ve had the Rise for just over a year now and my 10k Ripley with XX1 AXS has only seen 4 rides. I usually only ride once a week do to various injuries, which is the reason...

    Fuel EXe TREK's new lightweight trail ebike

    Talk about Trek missing the boat on the GX model pricing at $11,000. Buy the XT model for 9,000+ 600 GX AXS+ 450 X01 cassette and chain=$10,150. Save around $800 or so and have better/lighter cassette, chain and XT 8120 brakes over Guide RSC brakes. You can also run the XT cassette/ chain combo...

    Article The new 2023 TREK FUEL EX-e reviewed

    What would you rather have in equal terms? I prefer a Lyrik over a Fox 36 on a 140-150mm bike.

    Article The new 2023 TREK FUEL EX-e reviewed

    Looks like Shockwaves goal is to post the ugliest and least desired bikes/dirtbikes that most true mountain bikers have zero desire to own/ride.

    Is it adjustable? It’s producing friction with the chain

    I took a Dremel to mine and n further issues with rubbing.

    Orbea rise invisiframe

    Send Invisiframe a message. I know you are installing on the same size frame, but there will be some different contours of the alloy vs carbon. Not to mention different mounting hole locations and a thicker DT.

    Orbea rise invisiframe

    These kits are cut/made specific to each bikes dimensions per frame size, so I wouldn't attempt trying to fit it.

    Levo SL Gen 1 Levo SL 2023 Megathread

    The same way I and a lot of others feel about the current SL, but I still almost bought one 3 to 4 different times before I went with the Rise.

    Levo SL Gen 1 Levo SL 2023 Megathread

    You must not own or haven't ridden a Rise for any amount of time. My 41-42 pound Rise has a lot of similarities to my 27 pound Ripley and is just as agile on flowy single track trails as my Ripley is.

    Orbea Rise Issue

    One would think that someone could step on the non drive side pedal at 3 or 9 o'clock and another person could break the nut lose using a breaker bar/ cheater bar if needed. I've had many things at work that wouldn't budge, but a cheater bar has always come to the rescue. A little amount of heat...

    Orbea Rise Videos

    From my ride yesterday. This trail has a bit of everything and gets chunky about 2/3 of the way down to the bottom.

    Best EMTB fork?.

    My 160 Lyrik Ultimate w/ fender is right about 100g lighter than my 2021 150 Fox 36 w/fender.

    Orbea Rise Hydro won’t turn on

    Did you check the connections inside the head tube? You will need to remove the fork to check this adapter that connects the motor to the EN-100.

    Best buy award for the Rise

    I agree. I weigh 190 pounds and I'm running 203 front/ 180mm rear RT-86 rotors with my stock 4 pot Shimano 8120 brakes and they stop at the same point as my 27 pound trail bike with 2 pot Shimano 8000 brakes. My M10 with Float X weighs 41.25 pounds.

    XT cranks on the Rise….

    They are within 10g of each other, so no real weight savings.
