On the topic of batteries, and please excuse my total lack of understanding, I wanted to ask this: are the batteries locked with the engine manufacturer? I.e. Bosch Gen 4 will only work with the Bosch battery?
What I mean here is whether, for example, a Bosch battery could work with the Pinion...
Not speaking specifically about Aston MTB but I believe there is always some sort of behind the scenes type of relationship that might influence the words that are said. It is good for business :love:
I could also be totally wrong here and the noise issue has been rectified somehow.
At the moment this is just a moot discussion for me, fortunately :D
With bike budget blown on Voima, Nicolai MGU is just a toy I could watch through a window glass. Good fun but could be better.
More travel is a tough one with this one. Paul Aston mentioned issues when one wants to increase the wheel travel (belt tensioner, belt location, etc).
Derestricting is a different issue. Sooner or later someone will come up with a solution, the same Bosch engines are catered for.
Btw, there...
Interesting build spec.
I would go for Intend Flash and a coil shock instead but that's me, a relatively heavyweight person.
I also wanted to ask: what are the advantages of the Brakestuff Punchdisk brake rotors versus Hope Vented rotors (for those running Hope Tech V4 brakes).
