It's here! 2022 Orbea Rise H15

[BiGJZ74]

Congrats. My H15 arrived last night from Jenson. Same color and looks much better in person. I unboxed it last night and will start the set up today.
Any thoughts on downtube protection?

I used Ridewrap full kit on my frame and a Bike Armor Shuttle protector on the Downtube for tailgate protection

Bike arrived at the shop in Oregon today and should be in my hand in NorCal by Monday. I'll be adding some more upgrades shortly after. I'm gonna test a Fox DHX2 216x63 in the rear as well as upping the front travel to 160mm and wrap the frame in a full Ride Wrap kit. I picked up a SRAM X01 Drivetrain since my RF NextR wheelset was only available w/ an XD Driver. I'll use the Current Shimano drivetrain to refresh the XT drivetrain on my Trek Rail.

Very Nice! I've got a stock H15 that I've had for a couple weeks now. Question for you, since you've torn into it. My rear thru-axle kept loosening, so I took it out and cleaned the threads. That said, I've noticed that it doesn't thread in as far into the left axle nut as I would expect. On all of my other bikes the thru-axles is flush or protrudes through the opposite side nut. This guy looks 5/16 to 3/8s back in there. Did you happen to notice that on yours?

Same thread about it here: Orbea Rise (H15) rear thru-axle -- 187mm, too short? - EMTB Forums

Orbea lists it as correct at 187mm, although it looks stupidly short to me.

Has anybody swapped this out to one that doesn't require tools to remove? I find that super annoying.

It threads in on the derailleur side...I cant imagine anyone wanting a quick release lever on that side.

Latest update to my Rise is a 2022 Fox Factory 38 Grip2 160mm fork. I found the RaceFace Next R31's to feel flexy. I thought it was the frame but swapped my SC resereve 30's over from my Rallon and rear end flex was no longer really noticeable.

Interesting, I have reserve 30s and thought their stiffness is what made me bodice the rise back end flex.

Then definitely don't try RF Next R carbons LOL. I've always ran Reserves on all my bikes, tried Nobl TR32's on my Spur which were good. Got are great deal on the RF's cuz I couldn't find Reserves at the time....should have waited.

I'm talking Wheels. I run Next R bars and Turbine R stems on all my bikes. Next R Cranks on one.
