OK, Sonni-ish then, which has tighter numbers on the wheelbase and rear-center than the Voima. Again, I'm going from unspecified geo numbers. If you are privy to them as well, well then do spill the beans, as I'm flying blind on this.
If I would be so lucky that they would even have one to...
I'm even more interested based on what you are saying. While I don't have numbers in hand like you do, I'm sensing some Voima-ish geometry influences. Indeed this steed will be very very fast, even with the powerful DJI motor turned off.
By far the sole reason I'm heading to Sea Otter is to...
When you get down to it, if you have a Pole bike and really like the geometry and how it rides and how differentiated and progressive it is compared to other brands (even a year later), then you probably want to keep your bike as a going concern, given the stark reality that Pole Bicycles went...
Looks like your getting your cake and eating it too, as other posts on this thread have supported. Until more high-pivot EMTBs or MGUs take hold, Ochain and other pedal kickback tech look fruitful for EMTB.
Which Ochain version did you get? If it is the external dial version, were you forced...
Cool. I thought about that idea when installing the valves. Seems Muc-Off could sell a version with just the ball valve head mechanism since that is where all the tech is, unlike Fillmore, Funn, and some others where the apparatus involves the entire length of the valve. Let us know if it...
Not sure if this was posted on another thread, but Rob dropped solid "owner experience" video a few days ago that I missed:
Interesting that engagement float came up as a topic and as a good thing - no need for Ochain with this steed.
It has been difficult to get a deeper functional and design assessment of the Sonni, since its life was cut short just when it was getting started with the dissolution of Pole. Leo said the suspension design was Sansei, but I didn’t find any material describing characteristics/graphs of...
As mentioned, if you have a screw-on chuck, the coreless design of the Big Bore is the bees knees because there is no core to unscrew. That said, I must have dodged a bullet getting the Hybrids instead of the Lites, as I don't have any issues with my pumps getting a seal on the schrader head...
A PM from a fellow member inspired me to give feedback on the Big-Bore.
I purchased the long Hybrid version in black. While I typically like colored stems, I chose black because the Hybrid version of the valve is a little bulky looking and didn't want to draw too much attention to it, but in...
Rob, while I don't have this rig, I have ridden IGH/gearbox MTBS for a decade now and I think a number of things are things are contributing to rear suspension performance you are touting, beside the main feature of having a lighter rear axle:
You may be experiencing very small-to-absent pedal...
Quite a bit harder to pull that off over here in California. No carriers are insurning out here - you look at them the wrong way a they non-renew. It's strangely cheaper to get bike insurance and more affordable even I could add to a contents policy.
There is also another issue with contents...
Whatever you do, do not rely on your existing homeowners policy to protect your ebike, without going over the full policy, which is effectively a legal document. My State Farm policy has a exclusion carve out specifically for ebikes - those with 250W or less of power - with only a maximum of...
Dude, we need to talk. I've been seriously jonesing for the Anakin v2.2 for EXACTLY every thing you mentioned and been lamenting for an EMTB version just the same. That French bike you have is a very rare bird out here, and I would very much like to throw a leg over one or at least discuss...
OK, now you got me really curious about your gearbox MTB. Not too many bikes have zero belt growth out there (or zero chain growth for that matter) - it would require a concentric pivot. Might it be a Cavaliere Anakin or similar with a Effigear gearbox?
