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.
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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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!
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...
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...
