Thanks for response,
have you tried to change the stroke length on Fox Float X and increase the size of the suspension at the back? Apparently, in the new Fox Float X it is very easy, just remove 2 washers 2.5mm each to get 210x60 length and get 152mm suspension (youtube link) I suppose that the...
What do you think about Fox DPX2 comparing to Float X?
I have the Rise from 2021 version with Fox DPX2 and I wonder if it is worth the money to exchange for Fox Float X (I have the option to buy a Fox Float X with a Rise tune).
Like many people, previously I thought about a coil shock, but did...
I'm riding locally and often whole day trips, so I was thinking about buying Assegai MaxGrip front and Dissector MaxTerra Rear but now I'm not sure if MaxGrip front is worth it.
Orbea Rise frame is nearly the same as Orbea Occam frame. Several days ago Orbea launched new Orbea Occam LT which has 150mm rear.
I am wandering if Occam LT rear linkage would fit to Rise and if Orbea could sell these linkages. Maybe we should e-mail them.
The new Kia EV6 has a very interesting power to load function, which can be useful for charging e-bike. This is due to the use of a car as a mobile powerbank to power many devices at once or even the entire home:
"Convenient power supply for your activities. The EV6 is equipped with...
From my perspective on most e-mtb, due to the higher torque, the smallest sprockets wear out the fastest, so for owners of 12 speed the possibility of replacing the smallest sprockets is the most valuable information :)
Of course, not all individual sprockets can be replaced on a all cassettes, some of the larger ones are connected with each other. As I wrote, which gears will wear out faster depends on the style and terrain of driving. In tour riding, the smallest ones, while on mountain climbs, the larger...
Why replace the entire cassette if you can buy specific cassette sprockets cheaply? On e-bikes, the smallest 2-3 sprockets are often used the most (depending on the driving style), which are easy to replace (cost about 6-7 euro). Only the largest cassette sprockets are so expensive that it is...
I would like to ask about the comfort of riding. It is already known that Rise works well on the trail, but are longer trips (more than 3-4 hours) ok and is the riding position comfortable for such long distance trips?
Come on, Shapeshifting feature is commonly used on many bikes: Canyon, Rocky Mountain, YT etc.
Headtube angleset you can buy for little money to nearly any bike.
If TCU mounted to the frame is an "innovation" you can have it on Forestal Siryon with much more features, eg. GPS.
If we compare a...
Overall package seem nice and capable, but there is nothing in this bike which you couldn’t get elswere for less money. Too little changes for too much money. I thought there would be some innovative features.
Nice build,
but you put XC/trail components without dropper post and compare it to All-mountain/enduro spec components e-bike.
Check „Vecnum Nivo„ dropper post, it’s very lightweight and durable post that can work well in your light build.
As mentioned above there was a good knut7 chain test on youtube. On Cyclingtips.com there are also very professional Chain tests and Chain lube tests.
Wax based lubes seems to work best (eg. Squirt)
Shimano xtr and sram xx1 12 speed chains works very nice and if you use kmc chain with shimano...
