First ride with the new Race ID today and I have to say, it rips! So stoked to finally have it. I just need to take it to my LBS to have them recalibrate the wheel size from 29 to 27.5 so I can get to the 20 mph speed limit. It’s only 16ish mph right now. But it hauls ass in race mode up until...
That’s weird. I haven’t gotten that, yet. I only just received my battery yesterday though. If they send me a bill, I should send them a bill since my battery arrived with some cosmetic damage on the plug end of it from mishandling. Luckily it still works fine though.
Yes, the new one is definitely lighter. The old one with the same build but with the Rockshox shock was 50.8lbs. This one with a 150g heavier fox shock is 50.00 even. So maybe a pound difference if they were both weighted with the same shock.
Thanks Paul. The wheels are pretty light, but still really strong. They’re Light Bikes 40i carbon rims, Tune hubs and Berd spokes. I had 800 miles on my last Voima with the same wheels before I sold it and there were plenty of bike park miles and black diamond trails ridden and they held up...
The shipping via regular mail was pretty fast. They shipped on Monday and I got the frame on Saturday and the battery on Monday. No paperwork to fill out and no extra customs fees paid. 👍🏼
I do need to shorted the rear brake line and dropper cable a bit. I almost did when it was done, but I was too anxious to finish it and ride. But I’ll do it, because it’s bugging my ocd too. It’ll save me a few more grams as well. 😂
The battery arrived and the complete weight is 50lbs on the dot. I could get it under 50 if I put the RockShock shock back on since it’s 150g lighter than the Fox shock. But I like the Fox too much to take it off. First ride tomorrow! P.s., excuse the messy garage. 🤘🏻😎
Thanks Man! I had the 40 on my original Voima and the steering angle wasn‘t too bad. I was able to make 180 hairpin turns without issue, and that is with a 46* offset on my drop crown. Now with the new frame, its narrower around the head tube so the steering angle is even better. Not sure what...
Just finished building my new K1 Race ID frameset. Just waiting for the battery to arrive and it’ll be ready to rip! It should be right around 50lbs with the battery, maybe just under.
Your dropper post cable and rear brake cable both pass through the same area, near the battery connection. Since your derailleur is wireless it obvious doesn’t. Just saying that’s probably where your problem is. Good luck.
Sounds like your buddy who built the bike might have messed up the battery connection when he was routing the cables. The cables pass right by that connection and if you cram them through without watching what you’re doing it can damage the wires to the connection.
Pole’s seat clamp is different. Its built into the frame and requires a specific tightening method, (tightening the rear bolt before the front bolt and vise versa when loosening). This is not like the typical split clamp on a normal frame and this is the reason a shim is not recommended. I...
I had a 31.6 dropper and emailed them about doing this on my original Voima and they said they did not recommend doing it. So I just bought the correct size so there were no issues.
Yeah, different strokes I guess, but I don’t really like wrap covering my whole frame. I understand the wrap for the gold or storm grey frames, but I had a raw frame with no wrap and it was fine. Even when you get no wrap, it still comes with wrap on the battery cover and on the inside of the...
No, that’s the rubber shredding the loamy and rocky dirt. There is too much tire clearance for the tire to be rubbing, and it would not sound like that. Also the rear rotor was making noise under braking too.
