I didn’t know I needed an orbea rise before I started watching this channel, I have one now and the likes of this video is very informative now.

I upped my front fork to 160 mm on my Orbea Rise. It's great. And at the moment it's mulletted because the Raceface rear hub broke and is being replaced. So I'm using a 27.5 from my other bike on it. Also bought the battery extender. Love the Rise!

Brendan, likewise had my Rise Race Face Hub pack in. Seems to be quite a common issue and not sure if Race Face Vault hubs are fit for ebikes. Changed the rear wheel for DT Swiss so will see how that goes.

@@brendan1 Had a couple of rides on the DT Swiss and it feels great. My rear hub started having issues after about 6 mths, there would be this awful pinging noise and a slip in the transmission. Initially thought it was a gear shift issue and replaced the cassette, exactly the same symptoms occurred. Pulled the Race Face hub apart (simple job) and found the pawl faces were all rounded, hence the slipping, likewise the 60 tooth drive hub was rounded as well. Clearly the forces transmitted in an ebike are massive compared to a regular mtb yet manufacturers just fit standard mtb parts which they claim are ebike compatible. We have all tried to climb stuff on an mtb and we have stalled out due to gravity etc, yet on an ebike it drives us over the same obstacles with ease. The forces involved must be considerably more to accomplish this. I guess if you only ride fire roads to access trails then the Race Face hubs might last for a long time. However for me in the North of Scotland I do like some steep uphill, couple of videos here. kzread.info/dash/bejne/nH2Yz6ajnKmncbw.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/d6OOrdynnayZYNo.html&t

@@-ewen I replaced the pawls, springs, AND the free hub, but the Vault still did exactly as you described. I've now been almost two months without my Raceface wheel. Good thing my 27" Spank / DT Swiss rear wheel works great, otherwise my summer would be gone. And I also climb some steep stuff here in the Rocky Mountains next to Calgary, Canada. I'll check out your videos. Thanks!

I did the same with mine, 160 back/180 front. Two offset bushings are required though

Good to know you can dial it up a bit. I think if you get an e bike you can do more steep trails, How does it fair on steeper tighter trails, does it handle better than a full fat?

@CatMTBPilot

Жыл бұрын

Personally I think the lighter bike handles better on the steeper tighter stuff as it’s easier to move around and also control the speed on. The heavier full powered bikes get very fast on the steep sections with their weight but it all depends on what you are comfortable with I suppose!

Did the rear shock upgrade to 160mm also work with the frame size S ? Do you know that?

What are the people who designed the Rise thinking, only 140mm and 150mm? Why didn’t they design it with different geometry and longer travel? Oh! Wait I know why, because that would be a different bike built for a different purpose. But I’m sure the people who buy short travel bikes and try to redesign it into something it’s not, know better than the guys at Orbea, right?

Hi Todd, fair point but regardless people will still experiment with bikes and suspension so the video is just talking people through if they were considering doing it. It’s not meant to offend anyone so apologies if you personally didn’t enjoy it, that’s not my aim at all on this channel.
