Orbea Rise Crankset Saga Is Finally Over

[RickBullotta]

The EM900's arrived yesterday (thanks for a super quick turnaround from my shop, Perkiomen Bicycles, here in the USA). Installed today. It was kinda tricky getting to the inner crank bolt on the drive side, but I sorted it out.

And the e*thirteen cranks have been installed in a more appropriate location.

Not much of a used market for those . Put mine in the parts bin. You never know with supply issues.

I came here hoping you were going to announce Orbea have decided to recall the alloy eThirteen's too.

BTW this week I've received exactly opposite advice on how the eThirteen's should be installed from Orbea support and eThirteen support. Orbea are sticking with pinch bolt opposite the spindle hole (180 degrees to how a Shimano crank would be installed), eThirteen are saying aligned. I've ordered some Shimano's!

Are you used the plastic preload caps or changing to the alu ones ?

Great question. I used the aluminum ones. Just because they use a conventional hex wrench and for the bling factor.
