And you’ll now never ever forget that part again :-) We’ve all had things like that happen to us!

Make sure you have enough space (ie, a spacer) between the top of stem and the top cap. I’ve made that mistake before!

For the RS Toolbox, I followed the Orbea YouTube video (with many pauses and rewinds), but I bought the bike new, so registration wasn’t an issue. But I’m sure that either the ’Steps EMTB‘ or the ‘ebike field’ apps will show battery % when connected to the Rise. I *think* you have to connect...

I also have the Fenix 6 Sapphire for eMTBing and running duties - I have an Orbea Rise and a Levo. The Orbea allows all sorts of metrics to be recorded using the RS Toolbox on the Fenix, but when on the Levo and using the 'eBike Field' plugin from JanCapek, I can't get the watch/Connect IQ to...

Are you sure they’ve programmed the motor with the RS firmware? Does the E-Tube app show 60Nm max, or 85 when tweaking the profiles?

This… I’ve recently had my EP8 RS (Rise) motor replaced as it went faulty 7 weeks outside of warranty. It wasn’t a sure thing though, and my LBS had to argue my case. I’m pleased with the outcome (replacement FOC, just had to pay LBS to remove old and fit new), but it would make me think twice...

Motor replaced with 100% discount to me, so FOC (apart from LBS costs as these aren’t covered, which I don’t mind at all). Have been assured I now have a new 2yr warranty with this new motor. With many thanks to my LBS, Atkins Cycles of Leamington Spa, for arguing my case and sorting this for...

Apologies for cross-post, but… Have had my Rise for literally just over 2 years now, so out of warranty. I have never modded the motor, never power washed it and it’s never given any trouble. But tonight on the way to the pub I saw the little LEDs both flash red On the control unit (no display...

Have had my Rise for literally just over 2 years now, so out of warranty. I have never modded the motor, never power washed it, but tonight on the way to the pub I saw the little LEDs both flash red. I switched the bike off, had a couple of drinks and headed home. Bike worked fine until 400m...

Finally assembled all the parts to replace the chain ring. Shimano spider, Race Face ‘Shimano’ chain ring. Purple (special request by SWMBO) chain ring bolts, with the bolt filed down a few mm so they would fit and screw tight. Special purchase of yet another tool (Parktool LRT2). When her arm...

Thank you for the offer. We’re after 32t to keep it standard. Hoping a race face 32t narrow/wide will work with the XT 12 speed chain ok…

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Errr, I have one more question: spider bolts, anything special required? I remember having to use ‘shorter’ bolts when I converted from 2x to a 1x setup with a 30t threaded chainring on my older enduro bikes. TIA!

It shouldn’t be this hard!! Need a new chainring for my Rise M20. Like the 32t. No e-thirteen rings available anywhere, unless I place an order of at least €165 with a German site (Brexit, the gift that keeps on giving…). And even then, if it’s rhe ‘newer’ type, it might clash with something...

Have Hope F20 pedals, Tech 3 E4 (not the latest version) and Hope Pro 4 hubs. Had a sticking piston in a calliper that prompted a rebuild with new seals - a little messy, but this is after 5 years of use. And you can’t do with Shimano (I’ve replaced callipers because of leaks with Shimano). The...

All excellent tips from Rod B. Another tip: use the Shimano app and change the Rise to Profile 2. The default profile 1 doesn’t seem to make much difference when compared to a normal bike! Also, using the Shimano app you can adjust the settings for power etc. in each mode. I tweaked my ‘Eco’ up...

Has anyone tried the Filmore valves? Have to say, I am tempted, even at their price! Presta is a pita when they clog. I yes. To replace a valve core a skit once/year after I struggle to get air in, and take pressure readings.

And if you’re ever in Warwick, I’d be more than happy to have a go!

When fitting the tubeless valve, use a little rubber solution from a puncture repair kit to help ensure a tight seal. Stupid question, but you are removing the rubber-band rim tape before applying gorilla tape/tubeless rim tape? Gorilla tape is great, until you come to remove it from the rim...

Hope flats - not the absolute grippiest, but when ebike pedals are lower and suffer more pedal strikes than normal MTBs, the pins are pretty much indestructible! The OneUp alloys are grippier (grippiest I’ve ever used!), but I have these on my Enduro bike and can’t comment on how well the hold...
