Santa Monica mountains in Los Angeles. It was overcast and cold (for LA) until I got up above the ocean fog, where I took these photos.

Agreed regarding the rear rack. The pannier rack could be a good alternative to something like the Ortleib fork pack, as it goes on the rear, which I would prefer over carrying something on the fork.

I haven't seen other mentions of these racks made by Aeroe, so thought I'd post this link... I haven't actually seen or used these, but they look really nice to me: www.aeroe.com

It should work on any page. I've attached a photo of mine.

I've had mine set up and working for quite some time now, as described by @steve_sordy near the top of his post, in bullet #2: Gears -> Rear Gear. Did you try that?

My Rise looks the same. Nothing wrong with it. Probably just not what you were expecting it to look like.

I have one of these that I use for an Orbea Rise (Shimano EP801 motor). I never gave it a second thought that it could cause damage... just doesn't seem likely to me. I love the stand - very stable, but light and convenient.

Abbey Bike Tools recently came out with a (pricey, but very nice) chain checker that works on all chains. https://www.abbeybiketools.com/products/chain-wear-tool?srsltid=AfmBOooJFgFfXS8mlWWdrTUaPzxgheQjEwGYttfyMgKsb0UVwuK_Ohwn

I have a 2023 M20 and my bars were marked for cutting down from 800mm to 760mm (max 20mm cut on each side). The wiring is routed through the bars and it works when cut down to 760mm. I'd guess yours will be the same.

If it fits your bike, I really like the FeedbackSports Scorpion stand. The rear wheel is free to rotate, so it's easy to clean it and the drivetrain, and it's also easy enough to rotate the front wheel to clean it.

I've never tried this, but Topeak makes something called the FlashStand. Might do what you're looking for.

Thanks for this - I think it's solved my creaking noise! I took my bike to mechanics at two different shops to check the headset because of a creaking noise, and both said it was good. The Orbea Blue Paper for 2023 M models says 8Nm, so I tightened to that (it was only about 3-4Nm before) and...

I suggest also getting some tubeless tire plugs (often called "bacon strips") - they could be a big help if you get a puncture that's too large for the sealant to seal.

On bicycles the torque value is often printed on or near the bolt.

Having read many of his articles over the last few years, I’d say that he has a wide variety of tools/brands that he likes for different things.

There's some very good info and advice in this article, by Dave Rome (highly respected cycling journalist/mechanic): https://escapecollective.com/threaded-cheap-torque-wrenches-amazon-harbor-freight-aliexpress-review/

I have had similar. In my case I replaced the Tyrewiz battery and that solved the issue.

For anyone with the same issue, I discussed this with an Orbea dealer nearby, and they had another person with the same issue in the last few weeks. They spoke to Orbea about it, and Orbea was prepared to warranty the bottle cage bracket for the other person, so it seems they think something is...
