Lesenswerter Artikel, weil er nochmal eine andere Perspektive auf die Frage: warum ein #ebike aufmacht.

Ich möchte mein #orbea #rise jedenfalls nicht mehr missen. 😎

Halfway through my 8th ride after installing a new derailleur hanger, the new one snapped. I didn’t even pedal hard. Should I give up on this bike? Are the Orbea derailleur hanger made of cardboard?

Winter bike finally ready. Originally thought I could make the original mechanical disc brakes work by replacing the cables. They were however too corroded to be saved.

When I put the rear wheel back on, the derailleur hanger snapped, it was severely corroded as well. That is the most annoying thing to break on a bike since there are so many variations. At one point I thought that was the end of the bike and then I found a shop with the right on in stock.

Oh, I was unable to get the part of the hanger mounted to the derailleur off so I had to replace that as well.

When putting the chain back on I realised that the crank wasn’t spinning freely. Scratch that, I would probably spend 50W-75W just to turn that.

Now, my Orbea Carpe that started its life with a 1x7 drivetrain has a full Shimano Cues 1x11 speed drivetrain and good hydraulic brakes.

Back to commuting by bike again.

Winter biking is interesting. Normally, drive trains last 3 years before the salt eats them up. This year, I started by replacing the mechanical disc brakes with hydraulics. Then the derailleur hanger broke when I put the rear wheel back.

I finally tracked down a new hanger and mounted it just to find that a part of the old hanger was permanently stuck to the derailleur. New derailleur acquired and mounted. Now I realise that the crank is not spinning freely or rather I actually have to use a lot of force just to turn it around.

I remove the crankset and now I am presented with a rusted bottom bracket. It’s such bad shape, I can hardly make the tool fit. I have now learned that I can use an M7 bolt to secure the tool to the old bottom bracket to remove it so there is hope although it’s Sunday and I have no M7 bolt. With snow and probably ice on the roads, this means no bike commuting for me tomorrow.

Next puzzle comes if I manage to remove the old bottom bracket. To figure out what I need to replace it with. This was the end of my old winter bike. I knew which BB standard I needed, but it was not available anywhere.

I wonder if I will be able to remove the old BB on my Orbea Carpe and if I succeed, will I be able to find a replacement BB.
