Jayhawkeye3, Been there....done that.... My motor spit out a retainer ring less than a month into ownership. My mode control ring also broke two weeks into ownership. The final straw was an expected two month wait for a replacement warranty motor to be shipped from Germany. I have a great...

dancil1973, If you are replacing your brake caliper and going back with the exact same caliper, you do not need to replace the hose barb, olive, or hose. The hose barb and olive are not damaged if you simply disconnect the hose from the caliper. Note, that some Shimano brake systems will use a...

Paul Mac, I've snapped plenty of the old style AXS Eagle chains, but never a T-Type. I've seen this before on a bike I worked on. The owner had installed a chainring on his bike with an incorrect offset. This altered the bike's chainline. In essence, the bike was doing an old school cross...

Pic from my Amish days...This is how you rack em...Good friends, lots of bikes and one truck. Bull Run, Mioab Utah

For those following this thread. I woke up this morning, grabbed a cup of coffee and checked my emails. One of the emails was a link to a Pinkbike video released several days ago. The video is titled "The Biggest Brake Test Pinbike Has Ever Done." In the video, Pinkbike does a great job...

Irie, How are you doing? I haven't spoken to you in a while. TRP makes two types of 2.3mm thickness brake rotors for the EVO brake series. The older style TRP brake system, DH-R EVO, initially used the "RS01E" 2.3mm thick brake rotor. At a later date, a newer style 2.3mm thick rotor known as...

Who's There, Also a mechanic myself. I was a heavy equipment mechanic for Caterpillar, but I am now retired. You are correct, in many environments, performing an annual flush on a DOT 5.1 mountain bike brake system is sufficient. There are many places across Europe, or let's say the the Pacific...

Who's There, I've worked on mountain bikes for 22 years and have a lot of expereince with brakes, whether in stock or modified form. I've not heard of any mountain bike braking system which has an issue with the banjo fitting chronically loosens. If this is occurring, I think it's possible your...

It's been a while since I've had a Shimano drive system bike. I do not believe there is any big difference between The EM800 and E7000 computers. I know with the EM800 display you can switch between pre-configured tunes which you set via Shimano's mobile app. It's been a while since I messed...

Hallo Sebi, ich helfe dir gerne. Ich helfe gerne anderen. Bevor wir anfangen, füge ich einen Link zur Bedienungsanleitung des Rise Hydro 2022, dem „Blue Paper“, bei. Die Anleitung ist sehr ausführlich, und ich bitte dich, sie komplett durchzulesen. Sie ist in mehreren Sprachen, unter anderem...

Electron, Shimano does not make a EW-SD300 to EW-SD50 wire. There is an internal difference between the SD300 and SD50 wires. The Shimano SD50 wire has four internal wire conductors. Two wires are used for power and two are used for digial communication. Shimano designed the SD300 wire...

Sebi, Gott sei Dank habe ich keine Waschmaschine gekauft. Falls du deine Teilebestellung bei Orbea noch nicht aufgegeben hast, kann ich dir einige zusätzliche Teile empfehlen, die du in Betracht ziehen könntest. Eine Sichtprüfung des Fahrrads hilft festzustellen, ob du diese Teile benötigst...

Hallo, mein Name ist Rod und ich komme aus den USA. Ich werde Google Übersetzer verwenden, um Ihre Fragen zu beantworten. Ich hoffe, Google übersetzt die Nachricht korrekt. Wer weiß, vielleicht bestelle ich ja bald ein Bier bei Ihnen. Ich besaß ein Orbea Rise M20 (Modelljahr 2021) etwa 18...

Jever98, I've actually gave this a lot of thought when I got my first ebike. The areas I like to ride are very rocky. I find that a long derailleur arm is not always the ideal setup. Dispite my best efforts, I've occasionally place my bike in situations where the rear derailleur arm would 'Take...

Levity, the trail pictures were taken last September. The trail (Not the meadow) we were on is called 'Horse Creek Loop' and can be found on Trailforks for the Bridgeport area. We cobbed together a loop around both lakes via some singletrack and jeep trails. The whole area is a virtual desert...
