    I fixed the Ep8 motor rattle

    When I added xt cranks to my rise i left on the e13 chain ring and rubber boot/ring. The rubber ring touches the inside of the crank and creates slight friction if you backpedal. Without the ring (or with e13 cranks) when you go over rough ground there is a small amount of play as the crank...

    How many watts does the ep8 RS put out?

    Does anyone know what the peak watt output of the EP8 RS is by any chance? I know the nominal sustained is 250w, but all ebike motors say that. And or as well what the max % multiplier of rider input is. I'm interested as the stock ep8 is 500w, the Levo motor is 565w, the Bosch is 600w. Thanks...

    Rise h15 with creaky front end?

    Love my h15 but it has an annoying creak at the front. I'm finding it hard to track down as it only seems to happen when riding. I know it's not the carbon bar I installed. Anyone else had this? The headset? The forks? Thanks.

    Rise motor weird "draggy" behaviour, losing power

    I've ridden my H15 about 70 miles so far and on my last ride I noticed some strange behaviour. It seemed that when switching from boost (which is maxed out in the app) to trail or eco the motor feels very very "draggy". Like it is holding me back instead of assisting. I thought at first it was...

    Waterproof your power switch

    After hearing horror stories about water getting into the power switch I made a fix. I bought some "sugru" moldable rubber glue https://sugru.com/buy/sugru-mouldable-glue-by-tesa-3-pack-black?gclid=CjwKCAjwv-GUBhAzEiwASUMm4lyR39rSLuJqY0m_VeaG7VG1KohBrpRvnLcwgpQfQV8Rk92ax_meUhoCopIQAvD_BwE...

    H15 FINALLY arrived.. With much lighter wheels than expected.

    After a huge run around I finally got my H15 and began my upgrades. This included a nice set of custom wheels weighing a very respectable 1745 grams for £400. This was to save a ton of weight over the "very heavy" stock wheels. I say very heavy as Two separate people independently confirmed to...

    H15 delayed again. Is my bike shop lying?

    After being told my rise would be ready around Feb 24th, I was then told it was delayed until April 12th. Now that date has passed and the shop says "it's still in the orbea factory but they can't send it due to problems and strikes with truck drivers in Spain" Meanwhile I see new posts every...

    Is the e13 crank issue now fixed?

    With the updated guidance for torque, threadlock, and the pinch bolts facing the oppisite side to the "hole" in the ep8 spindle - has the cracking spindle issue on the motor now been fixed? Has anyone heard a report of this issue, since the updated guidance and with the new setup? Thanks.

    What's the definitive info on the e*13 cranks with EP8?

    I've heard various things about the E*13 cranks and problems with the EP8. But lots of threads and it's confusing. Please can someone in one post sum up the summary information for the noobs. Is there anything to add to below as is my understanding correct? Thanks. 1) As far as I read - there...

    Help with SLX caliper conversion please!

    I am getting a SLX 4 pot calipers to replace my Deore 2 pots ones and know I need some new banjo connectors. Something like this: Will I need another bolt or connector as well? Or can I use the connector that comes already on the end of my deore brake hose (bike not arriving for weeks, but...

    H series delayed until late April in UK

    My LBS didn't bother telling me that my order was delayed for 2 another months for an H15. Just found out by calling them. Refused to let me switch to an M20 which they have in stock unless I paid the price increase that has happened since my order, and they wouldn't waive the additional fee...

    Does H15 have XT brakes as stock?

    There are only two videos I can find on the whole web that show the H15 that are not from Orbea press materials. Both of them have XT 4-pot brakes with them. Neither of these appear to be customer bikes, but for sale in shops. This is very odd as Orbea lists these as an upgrade and with the...

    Steel vs aluminium freehub on ebike?

    I've just ordered a new set of lightweight 30mm wheels for my orbea rise which has 60nm max torque (not got bike yet am waiting) with bitex 212 hubs. I've realised that the hubs will come with an alloy microspline freehub body. I am not sure now if this is an issue? I am 145lbs so will put less...

    FINALLY a video on the Alloy rise

    With a number of alloy rises out in the wild (H30 seems to be the only one that has been widely released) I am surprised the total lack any kind of review. Many videos of people describing the bike, a few ride videos, but no actual descriptions around ownership. Until I found this one:

    Any short Rise riders out there? What size?

    I'm just waiting for my Rise by slightly concerned about sizing. I'm 5ft5 (165cm) which seems to suggest a medium (Orbea says 4ft11 to 5ft5 for small, 5ft3 to 5ft9 Medium), but I could fit both. I tried a medium in the shop and it seemed ok, but they had no small - I can also get a good deal...

    Warning Rise H15 buyers. Cheap shock

    Have just found out that that float x rear shock on the H15 is a cheaper oem version and not the one with the blue alloy knob that has 11 clicks of low speed compression damping. There is very very little info about this shock apart from a thread on it here...

    Sigma have the M20 in stock Medium.

    Looking on Sigma it looks like they have a medium 2021 M20 in stock at MSRP in medium. If I didn't have a deposit elsewhere I'd probably pull the trigger! Shame it's not discounted as 2021...
