Nice ride! I see Santa Cruz is still sticking with their display from last yr. vs. an update. Was not expecting an update but thought it might be kinda cool if it would be something new. All the same, great color, great bike~ btw, Sram Transmission is awesome.
Isn't it going to be fun when all the gear heads figure out how to run a GX wired system to the new t-type cassette and chain and reap the benefits of the new system! I think it'll work out with some 2mm spacer, or new revised adapter, or more. I would really like to change out my Yeti and Rise...
If your test proves successful then you can use the regular cable shifter, and convert for the cost of a chain, and front ring! How cool would that be.
The new Levo SL to come out in 2-3 months. 50nm same motor tweeked, choice of batteries, Mastermind, and S sizing, plus one revolutionary thing tbd. You heard it here.
Follow up on AXS vs. Transmission. Well, let's just say it's night and day. My Levo with Transmission is simply the best shifting system out there. Simply it's awesome. Like having a new bike. Rode mine and a buddy on his Levo with the new Transmission. Imagine grinding up some steep stuff and...
Put the new Transmission on my Levo. Can't tell you how nice it is. Ok Orbea, what's not to like? Seriously, it's really nice and super quiet. Biggest thing I notice is the solid shifting, and if it holds true that the hardware will hold up to abuse, then why would anyone not go with this set up...
There is talk of even the GX coming soon. I highly doubt they will wait til 2024 to feature it, rather it's in the pipeline I believe. btw, it's really good stuff. Think it's worth it.
I think you are 100% correct. Again, I'll say that the Transmission is a game changer. Might I add that the Levo ride group (with my Rise included) has been not pleasant to the Cassettes, chains, and derailleurs, so the hight cost of the Transmission stuff will be offset by reliability, and...
It does not have the UDH, but upon speaking with both Orbea and a local dealer, there is some talk about an adapter or something that will allow for this. Maybe just wishful thinking on this, but honestly, how could Orbea tight cast themselves into Shimano only as for the innovation of the...
Does the Rise allow for the new Sram Transmission? There are questions about how Orbea and others using their own style hanger actually being ok with the Universal D Hanger. Anyone know a for sure answer?
