    Fuel EXe Trek Fuel EXe Megathread!

    My thoughts exactly. The TQ seems so much less efficient. I was thinking about an EXE when it’s time to replace my Rise M10 but am now leaning towards something Fazua based.

    Shimano SC-EM800 or Garmin

    There’s a phone app you can buy called ST Ride for $3 that is specifically designed for this motor and gives all kinds of great info including speed, distance travelled, cadence, output watts, battery as a percentage, etc. It’s worth looking into. I’ve had my rise for a year and use this app...

    Recommend handlebar grips?

    Another recommendation for these. I changed out my OE grips to the GP1s about a year ago and have nothing but positive things to say about them.

    Fuel EXe so who's ordered the Trek Fuel EXe?

    Great point! I should have paid more attention that he is really talking about the motors and not the specific lighter weight bikes.

    Need Handlebar Recommendation Please

    I've read good things about the Nukeproof but have already ordered the new bars. Next time.

    Need Handlebar Recommendation Please

    I think my Orbea was 35 if I remember correctly but we measured and the Stumpy is 31.8.

    Need Handlebar Recommendation Please

    Thanks for everyone’s help. We measured and diameter on the Stumpjumper is 31.8. Used these recommendations and found something similar in that size. Appreciate you guys pointing us in the right direction.

    Fuel EXe so who's ordered the Trek Fuel EXe?

    Rob, Would you not include the Orbea Rise in the Low Weights/Super Light category? I'm excited about the 3 bikes you mentioned and am seriously considering the Fuel EXE as my next ride but it seems like Orbea is oftentimes overlooked. I've thoroughly enjoyed mine and feel like it still...

    Need Handlebar Recommendation Please

    I'm riding an Orbea Rise and changed out the handlebars to One Up with 35 mm rise. My 25 y/o daughter has inherited my acoustic Stumpy. She likes the higher rise bars I've put on the Orbea. I'm happy to buy her some new ones but don't want to spend much money on what is, in essence, my backup...

    Any short Rise riders out there? What size?

    I bought the 125mm PNW and it is you can adjust it to be up to 25 mm lower than that in 5 mm increments if needed. Very happy with it so far.

    Lower bars = Lower back pain😡

    This is about more than muscles. Riding in that flexed position compresses the front portion of the discs in the low back and bulges them towards the rear where the nerves reside. You can try counterbalancing this with stretches/exercises that accentuate back extension (look up McKenzie...

    Any short Rise riders out there? What size?

    I'm 5'7" and the Medium works perfectly. I even extended the stem a slight bit. I did put a tall, plush saddle on the thing, though, so changed to a 125mm dropper. Happy riding!

    175cm,82 cm inner leg / 5.85 and 32 inseam - Size m or l? Orbea Rise Hydro

    My friend is your size and bought the Medium M10 but added a slightly longer stem. He has been very happy with it and is glad he didn't get the large.

    Rise - Dropper Post Adjustability

    I bought their 35mm rise handlebar and have been thrilled with it. I’ll check out their post and thanks for the recommendation.

    Rise - Dropper Post Adjustability

    I was just watching a YouTube on the Fox post and many people in the Comments section were raving about their Bike Yoke Revive. I hate to drop another $300+ after buying the bike a couple of months ago and upgrading pedals, saddle, etc. but I suppose I will. I'll go take a look at the Revive...

    Rise - Dropper Post Adjustability

    I have a Medium Rise M10. The dropper post is a bit too high even with it fully inserted into the frame. I've seen where some (One Up, PNW, etc.) dropper posts let you adjust the post length. Does anyone know if the Orbea version has this adjustability or do I need to just buy a new one? If...
