Hi
How do you insure your emtb? If it all?
I’m finding house insurance either covers e bikes or not at all. And if they do cover it’s £600 more expensive
But we only looked at 2 house insurers
Bike specific looks about £180 pa but what’s covered is not so clear and varies widely
Any...
Servicing fox marzochi fork internals so grease required.
Slickolium being the grease of choice state side from what I see…? and we seem to get the same stuff in branded tubs from srams butter to slick honey in smaller tubs for twice the price. Price fixing?
Anyway looking further I see...
On my local loop there’s a twin track trail lined with 300x300 slabs on the surface for heavier vehicles. These have subsided and moved over time and no longer sit level. So much so that when wet there’s a good chance of sliding off the side of them with the slimy winter green everything get in...
Post in thread 'Orbea Rise reliability'
Orbea Rise reliability
Are Shimano owners aware of this? Well here you go if not.
Surprised there isn’t a motor manufacturers specific section for these sorts of posts tbh.
One for the Shimano section perhaps ? Or have I missed it?
So the main problem I have with tubeless is the mess.
The second problem I have is the insert making changes a pain
These are problems because, I change tyres a fair bit. Road tyres for road trips and some summer (schwalbe marathon they have that Kevlar (?) insert under the tread )
Winter E...
H30 22 model
Story is they couldn’t get Shimano hubs during covid so they sourced some other crap instead. Are you guys aware of this issue?
Turns out they are chosen hubs made in Taiwan. H30 and some H15 affected
The bearings are too tight for the correctly sized axle so the bearings run...
I’m seeing almost half the range in winter?
Staying above -10 for the warranty obviously, when the ground is frozen it’s a bloody good laugh across the fields and trails. Dress appropriately and keep working keeps you warm
But I’m seeing range of 20-23 miles below zero where as in summer I was...
Rise for me is very happy downhill. Steeper the better. But uphill it just wants to turn off and go back down at the slightest nudge off line.
Round here it’s a lot of cross country to get to the downhill bits so most of the time the steering is too slack ( complete opposite of the trend at...
And all Orbea owners and cyclists of course….
Got a busted tooth of the 10t sprocket! Don’t play with the assist quality btw
Anyone know where to get a 10 tooth sprocket for a Shimano CS-M7100 10-51t 12-Speed cassette?
Part number is Y1X498030
But nowhere has stock going by google, unless...
Evening all new here….After bmx I swapped to motor bikes track days and some racing. On reflection …. Should of stayed with push bikes.
….although e bikes fill that gap between pedal power and mopeds. THAT for me, is where it’s at. Power to weight. 1000 hp per ton ratio please Mr Orbea or...
