    Grippy and fast rolling....

    Got 30% more range running cross country tyres (racing Ray/Ralph) on a trail break event and it was soooo much easier above the limit than the stock tyres on Orbea rise. I’d say it’s a case of choosing the right tyres for what you ride …. But means changing tyres often, so I run sealant in...

    22 Ep8 some reassurance on warranty

    Madison can. Brilliant Bike shops, reading between the lines, wouldn’t trust them as far as I can throw them.

    22 Ep8 some reassurance on warranty

    Oh and to add, the seals have been upgraded on the new motor, Madison told me. A much wider flange around the crank spindle bit like a penny washer 👍

    22 Ep8 some reassurance on warranty

    My 2022 Orbea rise rs motor failed just before Xmas. E010 on screen refused to assist. Water ingress through the crank spindle seals and eventually seized. Don’t wash it on its side Took it to lbs after place of purchase confirmed shipping charges unavoidable and lbs also confirmed £25 for a...

    Orbea Rise or Trek Fuel EXE (i know again!) Buying advice

    I looked at both and went for the rise… or was the rise out first in 22 and looked at the exe thinking that no better and more money. But if your buying a rise used look out for the wheels on the rise h30 and 20 as they are week and the alloy free hub destroys itself on the no name hubs and the...

    Rise 25 creaky headset

    And this is the orbea rise, not a cube But I suppose I’d better check mine is correct too then 😁

    Jumping the rise

    In terms of height not distance. No? But this is really my point. There’s nothing I’m doing outside the manufacturers spec Fully aware of the 24 bikes upgrades Esp the rear end so some form of flex is to be expected, however it’s viewed, the bike is within spec as is the rider weight...

    Jumping the rise

    I don’t mind his first post, I do mind repeated reams of keyboard battering on basically the exact same loud mouthed pig headedness. Oh could we have another picture of an orbea rise please? Like we don’t know what one of those looks like, (it’s hanging up in the garage) 🛎️

    Jumping the rise

    Plummet. Will you please just fuck off! You made your point umpteen times, I’m not interested in your opinion …. I would like to hear from other people. If you want to start a thread of your own please do, leave mine alone.

    Jumping the rise

    The intention is to go with a cascade linkage arms and get the pre load spacer. But that would still leave the seat stays and chain stays. The only oe rear end bits left Check the rear triangle after ever ride. The give an idea , bike park wales, puppty ping, start pushing to clear those...

    Jumping the rise

    I could accept a sensible reply like fit the rear stays off a 24/5 bike But having already said I’ve changed the suspension and wheels to then bang on about changing suspension and wheels is frankly moronic key board warrior syndrome. Total bell 🛎️

    Jumping the rise

    They quote a rider and kit weight limit of 130kg or 20.4 stone So with kit I’m probably 19.5 stone plus water in a camel pack

    Rise 25 creaky headset

    No the bearings themselves are a standard size, the theory here is the rubber seal needs 10nm to compress it before the bearings can not move in the frame cup. Put another way, if the owner just does the head set up by feel like a normal head set without the rubber seal, the seal will allow the...

    Jumping the rise

    I don’t agree on the light e bike principle that they are all weak purely due to the light weight. That’s due to the low battery weight and in turn dictating lower power, both of which I want. I want to work harder on the bike and have less weight to throw about. It keeps up with full power...

    Jumping the rise

    Jumps aren’t that big as I can’t get beyond this issue. The rise system weight might be the issue but…. The reason for looking at the rise in the first place was that it was a lightweight ebike that DID fit my weight. Most other bikes quote a total bike and rider where orbea quote a rider weight...

    Jumping the rise

    I have a canyon strive and it’s not an issue. I do see what you mean jumping that as if trying to hard it can easily go squiffy but that can be either way The rise always seems to have to correct it back from the right mid air. It’s not inspiring confidence. It’s an xl I’m 6’2 and 19 stone. I’m...
