Has anybody attempted to replace linkage bearings on their Rise? Are all bearings 2RU type? Are tools and technique for pulling/pushing back to back bearings (page 49, part 13.1) the same as for singles? What tool do you recommend for pulling and pushing ones that are part of the frame (page 49, part 13.3)?

Nobody?

The Rise is so new, so no one propably needed to do this allready...
You will be the first, so you can tell us how to do it

I've got a set of their tools for doing my SC Hightowers bearings. Work really well and will be buying some for the Rise when I need them.

Bearing Puller for Orbea Bike Frame - Rallon, Occam Extractor Remover Blind Tool | eBay

This extractor tool is simple to use. Hold the hexagonal body of the tool with a spanner or pliers and tighten the nut. This will expand the tool, gripping the bearing. They can even remove the 'blind bearings' and back-to-back bearings that other tools cannot.

Bearing Press for Orbea Bike Frames - Rallon, Occam, etc | eBay

The second drift can sit in the place of the second bearing. Tightening the nuts or handles draws the spacers together, pressing the bearing into place. A pair of drifts is supplied for each bearing size.
