I have about 150 miles on my Orbea Wild M20 so far. I took most of the stock parts off it and moved a lot over from my previous Rise. My 38 barely fit given the 10mm-longer heattube on the Wild; I put the X2 on it - we'll see how it fairs; feels great so far with some setting adjustments. The...

There are a ton of good options - your SLX 4p brakes are good, but where all e-bikes suffer is the rotor. Its crazy to think that we use the same 1.8mm thick rotor on a 50lb eMTB as we do a 21 pound XC bike. Check out TRP's 2.3mm thick rotors. They WILL work in your calipers; tolerances are...

I'll chime in with my results - I took the linkage apart (my axle was also installed with the threads facing the non-drive side), cleaned everything as usual, re-installed with LocTite 638. The frame is dead quiet. With one exception now. This Rise has always been noisy since day 1 (creaks)...

Thanks for the insight on the Rise, Rod - greatly appreciated.

I came here with the same issue - the carbon chassis is creaking horribly but it really feels (sounds) like the whole frame is flexing, which emits the common carbon-frame creak-crackle with every pedal stroke. Maddening. Seated, standing, climbing, descending - any pressure on the cranks and...

Knowing the way the printing is done, you'll probably be better off showing Slik photos of the bike and having them use the "eye test" and choose the color they feel will match best. Codes can be tough when printing and paint mediums differ. It SHOULD work, but doesn't always go the way you...

Yep you're right - its way too close. Time for Plan B I guess - we have a DPX2 on it now, but may go another route to better match the 38 up front.

Bumping an old thread to reinstate the topic - who has been successfully using a Fox X2 on their Rise? i have one on mine right now but the air can is incredibly close to the frame upon compression, that it makes me pretty nervous (have not rode the bike yet, other than on the street). I am a...

That's awesome; thanks. You should get 800-1000 miles on the Gold, give or take (a lot of variables). I will swap Gold to Red quite a bit I'm sure; I want to see how much the Red can be pushed on a "light" eMTB (although this won't be on the lighter side of the typical Rise, I'm guessing.)

Hello everyone - I'm Kevin from MTX Braking. We wanted to do a fun custom eMTB build and went with the Rise. Starting with the M20 (because it was the least-expensive) and built it up to be a little more burly than stock form. We went with: Size Large M20 m/y 2022 SRAM Code RSC brakeset SRAM...

I just built my Rise and bought an Edge 830 specifically for the bike, and have had the same issues as others have outlined here, which is what brought me here. Here is how I finally figured it out: The biggest key here is that I used apps.garmin.com in a desktop browser, NOT on your phone. I...
