Orbea took quite a while to ship a hanger to Canada. Don't really see the advantage of a bike shop purchase vs direct to consumer from a support standpoint, with this brand anyway. Fortunately just a warranty/back up part as the North Shore Billet hanger is far better.
Cheers.
Spot on Texano, took 5 minutes. Really well thought out app.!
Also nice to be able to see the battery state of charge in percentage terms instead of the simplistic five bars Shimano uses, especially as they don't correspond to 20% each. I wouldn't necessarily use the app. on the trail for...
Appreciate the advice Tony!
Absolutely right about the advancing age and arthritis! My GP just scowled when he looked at the x ray of my hip, "worst OA I've ever seen". My Decoy made riding a blast again.

It's already maxed out on profile 2, the assist is still weak off the bottom, and I weigh 130 lb. Perhaps bigger, stronger riders don't notice the same issue. Maybe it's so long riding single speeds, but honestly I'd rather ride my analog bike.
Was thinking about the risk of Shimano not...
What kind of failures have been seen? Probably going to risk it, if necessary, as it isn't much fun to ride the way it is. Other option would be to find a Rocky and sell the Rise. It's a nice bike otherwise, and likely have to eat more than $1000 trading.
Cheers.
Hi all, new to the forum.
My daughter has a Rise H30, myself a Decoy 29. I had the opportunity to ride the Rise for the first time last week and was disappointed in the way the assist comes into play at lower cadence. Definitely not as much fun to ride the Rise on the twisty trails we have...
