@DubSea agree 100% and these are the facts. @BengtWeil is clearly out to make something out of nothing here and will ignore these sensical replies.

For anyone that gets the Park tool and needs an easy way to torque the ring. This 36mm socket with a 3/8 drive works very well (intended for oil filter housings on German cars). https://www.ecstuning.com/b-bav-auto-tools-parts/tool-oil-filter-cap-tool-36mm-bavarian-autosport/b8800020~bav/...

Then you would want to go up to 34 👍. Bigger in the front will make the larger rings in the back more useful while keeping up the cadence.

As in its too easy or hard to pedal on steep climbs? When you say over-geared, to me that means its too easy. So you would want to go up in size on the front. I haven't seen a 30t for a steps/ep8. E*thirteen and Shimano start at 32t.

I said the solution is to remove the 2 washers. It takes no time and resolves the issue. This chainring is made for ep8 motors, not the Rise specifically so it’s not going to be a perfect fit for every model if the thickness of those cheap washers and chain guide vary. You are making a big deal...

Yes, works fine (y)

Remove the two washers between the guide and the motor and it will fix this issue. I was just servicing a friends Rise and saw the marks on his sprocket. Removed those washers and the guide still clears in all gears. I serviced my Rise a few weeks ago and did not have any marks with the washers...

I just installed a 34t E*Thirteen chainring to hopefully utilize the lower gears. 34t is what Orbea lists as the maximum size in the Blue Paper and I can see why, it gets really close to the lower chainstay. BUT, a 2 tooth change is not that big of a difference. Changing your crank arm length...
