    Brake Upgrade parts confusion - M20

    Anyone needing info about the tool and parts, look on Amazon. A lot of the online dealers are out of stock, back ordered, but Amazon seems to have it, if you willing to dig.

    Brake Upgrade parts confusion - M20

    You probably have it all sorted now, but I did just receive the tool and parts for changing the hose ends from direct to banjo end. I probably knew in the back of my mind, I just didn't connect with it. I had already resigned myself to taking the bike to the shop for running new hose lines...

    Orbea Rise - 6 bolt rotors with magnet

    My Rise 2021 M-LTD has a an add-on rotor already attached, which I assume will be usable with the 203 rotors I have ordered. Changing to 4 piston calipers will be the biggest improvement, I guess, but I do like 203 IceTech rotors. I have them on my Mondraker Crafty and they stop that heavy beast...

    Orbea Rise - 6 bolt rotors with magnet

    I am in the process of changing the anemic brake system on my 2021 Orbea Rise M-LTD also, but the rear rotor has an add-on speed sensor magnet already attached, which should be usable with the 203 rotors I have ordered. Does your rear rotor not have one you can remove and use on your new setup?

    Is Orbea Rise M up to the task?

    I've been reading about all the issues with the Orbea Rise, all the crank issues, the charging port problems and generally a lot of glitches and breakdowns and I'm starting to wonder about the overall suitability of the Rise for experienced, dedicated riders. I'm not bashing the Rise, I'm merely...

    Opinion on Orbea changing cranks for cheaper than spec

    I am in full agreement with Ducman71 about simply changing the price of the bikes to account for the inability to supply the specified cranks. This replacement program has cost them many times more, I'm sure. They have, in fact, made a lot of blunders with the line, not all due to the supply...

    Orbea Rise - Shimano SC-E7000 Display Installation

    I decided to try the installation of the 8000 display after having obtained one, so I began the procedure with some reservations, and after pulling what seemed like yards of the 150 cable, it hung up. The length was easily as long as the down tube, leaving me to conclude that the connection with...

    Shimano Junction Box Functionality

    The EW-EN100 Junction Box which is standard equipment on the Rise lists "walk-assist" as an option on the Shimano website, but I can find no manuals or instructions that explain how to access this feature. Cycling through the buttons on the switch offers only off and the 3 assist modes. Is the...

    Kiox Hacks, tips and tricks

    Lots of things covered re: Kiox and its issues, so if my reply duplicates some of the things addressed sorry, but aside from the fact that my Mondraker used a handlebar mount from Acid that extended the Kiox out in front of the handlebars just begging to be knocked off, and I obliged with a...

    Orbea Rise Sizing

    First of all, let me say that I am not an ebike newbie, I have owned a Specialized Fattie, an S-Works SL, I currently own a Mondraker Crafty RR SL and in the quest for the ebike sweet spot, purchased an Orbea Rise M LTD that was previously ordered by an LBS.So, I got the default package...

    Rise dropper post lengths

    I contacted Orbea and was told to call an LBS in my state that had ordered Rise models in various sizes. I called them and reserved one that was not already sold, and after a 7 month wait, picked it up. It turns out that the default length for dropper posts on the Rise M-LTD is 125mm regardless...

    Still Happy With Your Purchase?

    Still Happy With Your Purchase?

    I received my Mondraker Crafty RR SL, finally, after a long wait, and I think it might hit the sweet spot between the S-Works Turbo Levo (1st gen with 35 nm) and the Gen 3. The Crafty is heavier than the Claimed weight of the Rise, but has 50% more power. The Crafty was billed as the lightest...

    Overcharging?

    My post generated some very informative responses, for which I am grateful. The batteries in our ebikes are more than just bricks to a lot of you. I'm impressed by the level of knowledge. So the takeaway is, as Smittylube said, "Charge, ride , repeat."

    Overcharging?

    Rekt may have put it all to rest. Overthinking is harder on the brain than overcharging is on the battery. No more posts, we have a winner. I was most likely high when that came to me.

    Overcharging?

    I just bought an electric vehicle, a car that is, and one of the things I learned from the dealer was to never charge your battery to 100%, unless you were going on a long trip. The battery would last longer and give you better overall performance in the long run if you charged it to 80%...

    Orbea Rise Ship Dates Slipping?

    My delivery date is now May, changed from April. Some dealers don't have any real info, or don't share it. I had contacted a customer rep at Orbea in in Mallabia when I first decided to buy one and she was very helpful and friendly, so I decided to reach out to see if she would tell me what's...

    Orbea Rise Ship Dates Slipping?

    Yes, as an update, the Rise deliveries do seem to be slipping, to the US at least. My April delivery date is now May. Just more of the same, supply chain fiasco occurring world-wide, although I was told that orders to North America were shipped air freight, but a knock-on effect might be...

    Forestal Siryon 2021 Edition One - Owners Thread

    Had mine all built and ready to check out, and "boom" no American Excess Cards accepted. It was fate's way of telling me to get the Orbea Rise, I guess.
