Orbea Rise brake rotor upgrade and W101 error code

[TomJones]

Hi. Like most of us I think I have upgraded the brakes on my H30 Rise.

I've added 6120 4 pot Deore and 203 rotors. This was done by an independent mechanic not the place I bought the bike from.

I am now getting a W101 error and the motor is not engaging. From my research I think that there might have been a magnet linked to a speed sensor and the motor on the old rotors. And that the rotor change means that the magnet is either not working or has not been swapped over.

Does that sound likely, or am I barking up the wrong tree? All thoughts welcome.

From my research...

means that the magnet is either not working or has not been swapped over.

It would take less time to look at your rotor than it takes for me to type this out.

almost certainly the speed magnet was not reinstalled

What discs were fitted by the mechanic? You either need something woth a built in magent or you'll have to add one.

My Rise came with a disc that had the magent built in. It couldn't be swapped to another disc. I bought a Shimano EM800 (xt level ice tech with a magnet built in).

You can buy bolt on magnets direct from Orbea for not much money. I think the bolt on bosch ones will work fine too.

There's talk of using epoxy to bond magent to discs but I don't trust that personally. Fine as a bodge but I wouldn't trust it long term

Brilliant. Thanks all very helpful.
