Made the switch over and it works exactly as described, and good job in the description by Markitos. I was able to get a spacer on Walmart.com and lightly filed the spacer to fit the 19OD. It's hard to find the exact spacer unless you have it fabricated by a machine shop, and all I could find...
We are starting to see the conversions take place. 5Dev is making a Transmission conversion kit for Yeti bikes, pre UDH., so there must be ways to eventually make this happen. Hopefully just a matter of time. When / if this happens, then it's going to be a great thing...
Isn't it going to be fun when all the gear heads figure out how to run a GX wired system to the new t-type cassette and chain and reap the benefits of the new system! I think it'll work out with some 2mm spacer, or new revised adapter, or more. I would really like to change out my Yeti and Rise...
If your test proves successful then you can use the regular cable shifter, and convert for the cost of a chain, and front ring! How cool would that be.
Follow up on AXS vs. Transmission. Well, let's just say it's night and day. My Levo with Transmission is simply the best shifting system out there. Simply it's awesome. Like having a new bike. Rode mine and a buddy on his Levo with the new Transmission. Imagine grinding up some steep stuff and...
Put the new Transmission on my Levo. Can't tell you how nice it is. Ok Orbea, what's not to like? Seriously, it's really nice and super quiet. Biggest thing I notice is the solid shifting, and if it holds true that the hardware will hold up to abuse, then why would anyone not go with this set up...
I think you are 100% correct. Again, I'll say that the Transmission is a game changer. Might I add that the Levo ride group (with my Rise included) has been not pleasant to the Cassettes, chains, and derailleurs, so the hight cost of the Transmission stuff will be offset by reliability, and...
It does not have the UDH, but upon speaking with both Orbea and a local dealer, there is some talk about an adapter or something that will allow for this. Maybe just wishful thinking on this, but honestly, how could Orbea tight cast themselves into Shimano only as for the innovation of the...
Does the Rise allow for the new Sram Transmission? There are questions about how Orbea and others using their own style hanger actually being ok with the Universal D Hanger. Anyone know a for sure answer?
I love my Rise, but have to say Bosch is about 5 years behind Specialized as for the controller unit. Albeit an huge improvement over the left handlebar unit which is embarrassing. Common Bosch, and this will be around since it's new. Ugh. OH, Shimano is not far behind. Just goes to show that...
No kidding. How is it that Orbea could be 4lbs off the Rise from "claimed weights". Why in the hell can't they just publish the weights as they ship from the factory. Take the average from 10 of the same models? I'm guessing a GX axs part won't vary that much from part to part?? You have the...
