    Anyone install their cascade link for rise yet ?

    Removal of old link was pretty straight forward. Installation of new link was good until I had bolt in the seat stays. I got one side installed but it was quite hard to align - stripped first thread of the bolt. The second side was even harder. Solution is to loosen the rear axle, and if you...

    Awesome thanks for the update! Did you have to up your spring rate by 50 or so lbs?

    Planning my 2024 purchases and looking to get the link too. What size bike are you running? Also did you get the link installed yet with 29 out back? what's the clearance like?

    Ep8 rs full power

    I don't ride very often - bought it back in april 2022 and unlocked it after 200km, still going strong after 1500km! I did suffer from random power downs before unlocking, but I removed the motor and replugged everything to make sure it's nice and tight + no cables were pinched. Didn't have any...

    Orbea Rise Cascade Component Link

    It's happening - no details on it though. Saw this through their IG showing this at the Crankworx Whistler Booth. Below are all educated speculation: + progressivity + travel (possibility, if so, not much) Gen 1 Rise (up to 2022) - should fit both carbon and hydro Gen 2 Rise (2023 edition) -...

    Instant engagement hubs on the Rise?

    I've had both - Vesper Nobl 37 and now Hydra Nobl 35 on my Orbea h30. Vesper: Like any Vesper, there's going to be a bit spongy-ness when stepping on the cranks, but honestly it's not noticeable if you actually ride the bike instead of holding rear brake and cranking. Based on my understanding...

    Orbea Rise Mullet

    You cant unless you have STunLocker premium, or fully unlocked shimano software (I think only dealer can install this) TBH you won't be losing too much speed ~ 5 to 6% difference between 29" to 27.5" eg. speedometer display 25mph, at 27.5 actual = 23.75 mph

    Ep8 rs full power

    Just the regular ep800 RS. Sorry to clarify - when I was playing with the unlocking firmware, I had the above profile 1 and 2's torque set, Then adjusted power to 350w - flashed back to RS firmware, tested profile 1 flashed to unlocking firmware adjusted power to 500w - tested profile 2. Between...

    Ep8 rs full power

    My H30 540w Rise definitely "feels" full fat when unlocked, this is my current setup: --RS profile-- Profile 1 eco (350w - 29 nm) Profile 1 Trail (350w - 47 nm) Profile 1 Boost (350w - 60nm) --unlocked ep8-- Profile 2 eco (500w - 60nm) Profile 2 Trail (500w - ~75nm) Profile 2 Boost (500w -...

    Öhlins TTX1 or TTX2 and up the travel to 150 on my rise m-team

    yeah I agree with socalmtb - just depends where you're fun is. I'm 185 and I run 475lb spring, I like the traction and extra travel for the tech stuff I ride. In flowy / jump lines, I don't get more than 3 feet of air (huck to flat) and my setup feels pretty smooth to me. I rarely feel any...

    Öhlins TTX1 or TTX2 and up the travel to 150 on my rise m-team

    offset bushings doesn't change the stroke of the shock which determines your wheel travel. You will often find that people are "long stroking" their shock along with offset bushings. Going this route really limits the amount of air shock available to you cause you will need to use 216x63 sizing...

    Öhlins TTX1 or TTX2 and up the travel to 150 on my rise m-team

    Not possible without a custom link that changes leverage ratio. Shock is already at max stroke for the size (210 x 55), if 140mm was achieve from a 210x52.5 shock, then yes you have some room to play with.

    Rise rear travel

    These type = no, this type = yes as it's a bearing insert that sits into the usual lower eyelet

    Rise rear travel

    I knew someone would call that out - it's fully compressed and I made sure by sitting on the bike and bouncing - there was no more give. The bump stock without the spring holder actually shifted over the bottom eyelet as there's a gap inside the bumper that doesn't fully wrap around the shaft...
