    Orbea Rise, replacement tyres

    Bbbbbut they also won’t puncture as easily and have more grip on the slippy stuff although still never enough :)

    Orbea Rise reliability

    If a motor goes atm your 3+ months waiting, I know someone who has had 2 motor failures so far and is still waiting, I own one also and it’s a great bike so far

    I went for the Large in the end but probably should have got the XL…..I think the case is if you’re looking to ‘plough’ rather than ‘pop’ over everything like a gazelle then maybe there’s more stability with the XL than the L but if someone likes tight turns and agility then they would go for...

    Are expensive bike lights a rip off?

    I just like the wider beam and how it’s laid out, I don’t like the torch ring of the exposures as much, Rob managed to make them look absolutely woeful compared to magicshine but then I don’t think he activated the light properly The bulbs will burn hot so will fade over time thats for sure...
