How did you press the bearings back into the frame when you serviced it? I’ve only done bearings on one frame and used the green loctite to bond the outer race to the alloy frame. No idea if there’s a carbon equivalent to the green stuff.

I’m also curious for a ride report. With the longer travel the bike should sit lower at sag and at full bottom out. I’m curious if that’s noticeable.

This sounds a bit goofy but could you wrap the mgu in some automotive sound absorption vinyl/foam stuff? I want this thing to work so badly…

This makes me wonder - could you remove the main battery and just use the extender? I’m tempted with one of my youngest kids as a way to create a super light ebike for him.

An old one-up rad cage might work here but sounds like you’re sorted.

Orbea Rise. Carbon if you can swing it. Small battery to keep it light. That’s about as light as they come and will be more than capable for her use. It’s a great bike.

Orbea has 2024s on the website. No changes.

I’ve mentioned this elsewhere, and it’s a bit of work but why not reroute the cables to to top of the downtube (with sticky cable guides) and then into the stays? The bike seems among best in class aside from the cable routing.

XL 2023 Rise H10, 48 lbs with Supertrail Schwalbe tires F & R and pedals S 2023 M20 with big battery, 43 lbs, stock with pedals I've really enjoyed mine (XL H10) but I'll admit to being a bit surprised at the weights on each bike. Hoping a lot of it is in the wheels which I plan to swap out...

7mesh makes some nice stuff. Very expensive. And still nothing will be completely waterproof and breathable in my experience.

I’m curious how this rides compared to running the 8.5 x 2.5 rear shock and offset bushings. I think the cascade would offer a superior leverage curve from what they show on their website.

What crank lengths you been running? I’m thinking about going to 160mm

I’m going to design and market a dork disc that looks like a 60t cog.

I’d prob take an on sale H30 Orbea Rise over this but acknowledge it’s a different category of bike.

I have the larger battery, but I usually go on shorter rides, multiple times a week. I don't regret having the larger battery, but I can say I'd be just as well served by the smaller one plus the range extender... and yeah, the alloy rise is a freaking incredible bike. Can't believe how well...

Spoke to a dealer yesterday - no meaningful changes for 2024.

I'm considering re-routing all (or most) of the headset cables to be external and/or running a GX AXS shifter and derailleur. While I don't love the optics, I hate the lack of serviceability of headset cable routing. I'm looking at using the jagwire stick on tabs or something similar and...

been wondering this myself. they changed the carbon molds for 2023 to account for headset cable routing (yuck) and redesiged a rocker link to make it out of carbon. I could see them keeping it for one more year, but who knows. The price drop seems to match what every other manufacturer has...

How much faff is dropping the motor? I’m an intermediate mechanic. The other consideration - I’m about to get a 2023 and want to do away with the headset routing. I’m happy to run cable guides on top of the downtube and then into the rear stays but that still leaves the controller wire and dropper.

Where/how did you determine spring weight? If it was something other than trial an error I’d love to hear about it.
