Are you still unable to get a replacement EP8 motor from Shimano US? I guess my Orbea rise H30 will be bound to the landfill if either the battery (Orbea specific) or the motor goes.

Bike / Product Year: 2021 Manufacturer: Orbea Model: Rise H30 Size Large Asking Price: 5200$ USD Location Dublin, California, USA Description Only 187 total miles on the bike (see screenshot). Frame: '21 Orbea Rise H30 (Large) Motor: Shimano EP8 Battery: 504wh Fork: Manitou Mezzer Pro 29...

The older 3-piece linkage (axle + two sides) for the rise. which some want to use w/ the cascade link.

Same reasons why I'm a one and done Orbea customer. Linkage discontinued, and using their own battery instead of sticking with the OEM's battery. Gonna be close to impossible to find one of these batteries 3-5 years from now specially if there's no aftermarket refurbishers. Disposable...

I think the best lesson in the future is get an EMTB that uses a standard battery from the company that made the motor - not rely on the bike brand. Shimano motor? make sure it has a shimano battery. Bosch motor? make sure it has a bosch battery. Fazua motor? eMTB's currently out only uses...

The part number I'm running on my bike is the W0154 (53mm chainline). The W0145 is supposed to be for a 50mm chainline. The W0154 ifor the 53mm chainline. Not sure what the W0164 ones are for? Might be for 55 mm chain line which would be wrong.

Anybody paired this up with a 160mm fork? I'm currently running my Manitou Mezzer Pro at 150mm and have a Slack-R installed.

You can knock those bearings out 19mm, or 18mm OD hardwood - wooden dowel from the inside (just hit the bearing inner race). Like stated earlier, just gotta work it around. If one buys the pre-load kit, one really can't use a blind bearing puller to pull the bearings out (in the future) as...

Instruction video from Cascade Components / Ride Bicycles could be better.. I installed the kit on my 2022 H30 Rise. Couple of things. 1) Why no Torque Specs? For 2022 Hydro Rise Link Pinch Bolt Torque Spec is 15 nm Shock Extender -> Link bolt is 15 nm Rear Chainstay -> Link bolt is...

Orbea designed the bike with 53mm chainline in mind - there are OEM and aftermarket replacements available. Things get complicated when install's a spider that's not made for a 53mm chain line (more drivetrain noise). Don't mind me, I forgot to un-watch this year old thread.

Not sure why people are making this too complicated, the FSA (53mm chainline) spider is available, just pair it up with a 104 BCD chainring that's compatible with 12 speed Shimano chains. The SHIMANO "STEPS SM-CRE80-12-B CHAINRING" is also fairly easy to get as well, and is available with...

For the RISE Hydro, see below. Frame side - 8MM x 21.84mm * Fox Hardware (IGUS Bushings) - Fox (803-03-279) * Rockshox / Manitou (for DU Bushings) - RockShox (11.4118.091.807) Yoke side - 8mm x 16.5mm * Fox Hardware (IGUS Bushings) - ? * Rockshox / Manitou (for DU Bushings) - Fox...

And here's the FSA spider w/ the RaceFace 12-speed Chainring, also made for 53mm chaiinline. Fits just fine on my H30, no rubbing.

Hmmm, I have an Rise Alloy (H series) and I've used both the Shimano Spider and the FSA spider made for a 53mm chainline - I even posted pictures above. Not sure why people are trying to install a spider meant for a 55mm chainline Here's the Shimano SM-CRE80-12-B (meant for a 53mm chain line...

Hose will work just fine, same amount of fluid will be displaced when the.lever is pressed. It's really just a bunch of BS from Shimano. Just make sure you are using the barb made for the BH59
