    Levo Gen 2 Rear Mudguard ?

    Just ordered one of these ^^^^^^ for my orbea rise, over the years I have only used a clamp on seat post mudguard to protect my back and never really appreciated why people bother faffing about trying to make something for down below. After removing a kilogram of dried mud ( many rides) from...

    Hardtail for the missus

    I bought the other half a decathlon hard tail 2 years ago. It had the privilege of doing 16 miles in total before it was sold a year later :rolleyes: Hold out before spending the big bucks.

    "It's me not you". A AXS story.

    I was tempted but after riding a friends bike last year, its not for me . There's just no feel to the change, Its hard to beat a well set up xt shifter set up.

    Turbo mode, how much do you use it?

    This is exactly why i went for the orbea rise m10, it sounds like your lugging around a heavy bike for no reason. As was i for over 2 years. The so-called light weight low power bikes are probably more overlooked than they should be for a lot of people without mountains on their doorstep that...

    How much power do I need?

    I've gone from gen 4 Bosch 85nm to an orbea rise m10 with 60nm and 360wh battery. Honestly i thought it might fail to achieve my 24-mile route with a few decent hills to navigate but I still tuck the plunge without a test ride and purchased the bike. It didn't disappoint, lifting the bike over...

    Ketchup's Orbea Rise M10 MyO

    Stunning pictures, I love my M10 to the point where all this years and 2023 light weight bikes seem to be stealing the lime light on you tube. The Orbea seems to be the forgotten missing link in the evolution of lightweight mid power bike, for me it's still the best.

    Thinking of selling my Bike.

    All good advice above, i think the main issue might actually be getting a buyer :rolleyes: . Not many buying at the moment so stick it up hear and good luck (y)

    OMG ive just spent 4k on a EMTB- Rise user experiences please

    The rise rs with 60nm is ample. You can climb but slower, there's something satisfying about not ploughing through a climb, just make sure you are in the correct gear, you will be surprised how much power you have in eco with the correct gear. I can easily achieve 30 miles with 800 meters of...

    Garmin deals.....

    Thats a bargain for the 1030. I've had the 1040 for a while as well as the watches. Cracking piece of kit once you refrained from stamping on them when trying to navigate around do a you turn ;) You will get the hang of it. If you have a bike that connects to Garmin there even more useful.

    Distance measurement

    Is that 390km or 390k total distance? Just curious because that's a hell of a difference. All 3 of my bikes onboard differ from my Garmin but to be fair the % is small, wheel slip is a good call ^^^^^^ . Honestly, I don't think you would notice the extra help from the motor giving you that...

    Bank Transfer Scam

    A lot of cash talk about, personally i cannot be arsed with cash on bigger amounts, it just means I have to go to the bank, that and the fact there's fake notes around. No need to ring the bank either for a transfer unless you don't have internet banking.

    Shimano SC-EM800 or Garmin

    Thats interesting, I run a data field on my Fenix 6 , i didn't think the actual e bike profile actually connected so just added the data field.

    Shimano SC-EM800 or Garmin

    Garmin 1040 and Fenix 6 user hear, what a cracking bit of integration, if i just wont the basic it's the watch if i fancy a decent ride i connect the 1040. The 130 plus will not work.

    Bank Transfer Scam

    Putting your details into someone's phone for a bank transfer and then checking the other persons phone for confirmation :rolleyes: . Seriously people are not that daft, are they ?
