    Stock H15 rear hub is destroyed after 4 weeks

    The wheels are shit as they say. The rims flex on off camber surfaces and push the bike off line. Dt Swiss or whatever but check the weight limit

    Stock H15 rear hub is destroyed after 4 weeks

    Yes if you replace under warranty they send you the correct chromoly steel one But replace the axle as well as it snaps or wears through in some cases It’s covered on here somewhere

    Rise H30... Awful rattle

    You’re aware the ep8 has a rattle built in? They all do it. Noticeable free wheeling at speed over small bumps will bring it out, adding extra mass of the extender….. would that make it more pronounced perhaps ? If you are aware please ignore this No experience with the extender although I...

    Stock H15 rear hub is destroyed after 4 weeks

    You don’t want that alloy shaft, it should be chromoly steel as the replacement free hub is. There’s numerous people have had the shaft snap or wear through Here’s the steel shaft part number (edit, again, posted so many times I’ve forgotten where😄) they supplied under warranty next to the...

    Stock H15 rear hub is destroyed after 4 weeks

    There is no way to use an impact and I don’t agree with your second point in this application tbh. The axle with the slots in the end is aluminium and brittle. Wacking it as suggested is far more likely to bust the shoulders off the slots on the axle or worse. But better to be aware for others...

    Stock H15 rear hub is destroyed after 4 weeks

    Yours being h15 mine h30 Some h15 got the same Chinese Chosen hubs due to supply issues. Check the specs I guess ? Certainly true of the h30. Ask them for support on procedures for replacing the axle and they send you pictures of a Shimano cup n cone loose bearing hub. Even though chosen hubs...

    Stock H15 rear hub is destroyed after 4 weeks

    Should be Shimano but they are loose ball cup and cone. Equally poor Not sure if the freehub is steel chromoly or not on those

    Stock H15 rear hub is destroyed after 4 weeks

    Expect it to fail. Because it will as will the hollow alloy axle either by wear or simply undoing the thing to change bearings which are too tight and go notchy. Start a warranty now imo

    Is it just me or is the seat tube oddly long on the Rise?

    The XL has a higher stack as said and is annoying for stand over Should of gone large really

    Edit: Will Fox Float X2 shock fit a rise?

    Or thinking further, modify the can to clear. Basically grind a bit off. How thick is the can though? Anyone know? I suppose in the interests of saving weight…. Not very thick at all. And it’s still got to hold the pressure ramp up

    Edit: Will Fox Float X2 shock fit a rise?

    That’s a shame I have an XL frame and looking for a shock with high and low speed damping to match my new fox 36 grip 2. I was hoping there would be a way but being at 6’3 and looking for more exciting trails it’s not worth the risk. Is there another similar suitable option that fits?

    Orbea wheels with offset spokes and tram lining(?)

    Thanks for your input, ive tried to straighten buckled wheels with spoke tension and while managed to improve it, it was not successful and put me off the idea of lacing a wheel forever… although I’m sure it helps starting with a rim that is actually straight 😁 I guess I should make it clear...

    Orbea wheels with offset spokes and tram lining(?)

    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...

    Shimano ep8 code reading

    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?

    Orbea Rise reliability

    Mine raised this code and didn’t tell me. Presume it’s not a major code as it still drives ok. It was bloody cold at the time and I do get frustrated with the thing when you set off and forget to turn the poxy thing on, so then have to get off agsin to reach the power button by which time...

    Orbea Rise reliability

    Right so on the ep8 with e tube ride ( correction e tube app, not the ride app) app, there is a maintenance tab once connected to the bike and the motor unit selected (from memory) in there you can see what code has been raised along with a description of that cause and a course of action to...
