Would love to hear your thoughts about riding both (if your friend lets you). I have a Tier 2 coming that the bike shop is upgrading to a Tier 1 spec for me. So I'll have the red ZEB, X0 drivetrain, etc. But the black/orange colour. I've ordered some Slik Graphics decals to make the logos and...

I installed a Telum coil shock on my Amflow PL Carbon Pro. Works awesome. Never had an issue with the frame. I got it last July. I ride pretty fast on some chunky trails and do some drops and jumps. Not big stuff though.

This would be very useful. I was actually quite surprised when I couldn't show my Apple Watch heart rate on the Amflow screen or that it just didn't integrate with Apple Health at all. So I still have to start a cycling workout before riding. With my Orbea Wild the Bosch Flow app comes with an...

I would like to know this too. I was excited to see that I could add a heart rate monitor. Then disappointed that the Apple Watch didn't show up. Works perfect with the Flow app on my Orbea Wild Bosch motor.

My XL M10 came with a 170 mm dropper, but it was too high for me. I now have a 150 mm and it's perfect. I'm 6 ft.

Oh yes, very easy. Just had to swap the actual dropper. Just undid the collar, then removed the left side grip, brake, and power control, then fed the wires into the frame as I pulled up on the dropper. Once the bottom of the dropper was free of the frame, I unhooked the cable from the bottom...

Well, it finally happened! Got my Rise! Had to change the dropper post because the Orbea one was too high. I put in a One Up 180, but shimmed down to 160. So far I've ridden it twice. It's so amazing!

Oh, I didn't realize you'd have to remove the chainring to install the Invisiframe kit on a Rise. I'll have to let my installer know that when I get my Rise. I already have the Invisiframe kit waiting. I think there's a special tool to remove the chainring isn't there?

I think I would prefer if it didn't cover any of the ORBEA logo though.

Hahah... ya, it has been a very long wait. But in the meantime I've been building a custom Santa Cruz 5010c so that's kept me busy for now. Took it out for her maiden voyage today. It's not quite done yet, but almost. Just waiting for a red Ergon seat (the blue one here will go on my Orbea Rise)...

Me too (coal blue M10). July. I asked the LBS for an updated date and he said "I think your's is coming a week earlier. But still in July." Hopefully then more to the beginning of July than the end.

My coal blue M10 also comes in July! But I ordered it last October. A very long wait.

Is the M10 also centre lock? In one of the above pictures, the rotor is the Galfer DB004W2, which I think is a 6-bolt, is it not?

And the Fox 36 / 150mm fork on the front on the M10, is it the 2021 model? Need to know for Invisiframe. I'm guessing so, hopefully. The Orbea website doesn't specify. Just says Fox 36 Float Factory 150 Grip2 QR15x110 Kashima

Is the back-half of the coal blue Rise matte or gloss? I'm thinking front gloss, back matte. I've not yet seen one in person so I don't know what Invisiframe kit to buy.
