No reviews out there, I guess all the frames go to paying customers. Maybe the best option is to join 'Pole Bicycle Riders Group' in Facebook, some users have received their frames and posted initial impressions.
I replaced the short arm with Fiamma bike block pro d1. Makes mounting any bike with ease now.

This is the reason I've switched from tubeless to Tannus inserts and tubes. Couple of times I've had sidewall splits which were major pita to fix on the trail. I'm using Tannus on my DH and EMTB where weight doesn't matter that much. True fit and forget, after one year of use I'm really happy so...

Let's see. Personal identifiers are needed for account and login. Personal details - ok, this is probably all not needed, but you can enter what you want. If the app calculates calories, etc some of this info is required. Travel - if you want to record your rides this is required. Lifestyle -...
Looks like the seat tubes are extremely short on Ripmo and Spire.
Also, I really don't understand the need to slam the saddle as low as it goes. As long as it goes down enough is..ehh enough. I have plenty of seatpost showing on my DH bike, actually I use inner thighs to control the bike.
I once forgot to tighten the battery screw. It didn't take long to figure out what the klunking and rattling was about. The battery did not fall out and power stayed on too.
I really can't understand how the battery can fall out, unless there's something really wrong with the frame.
Different bike, different setup. That's about it. And it's an ebike. Hitting the the assist cut off willl feel hard, after all you just lost 100-500W of power from your legs and you're probably couple of gears too high for non assisted pedaling.
Cool looking bike. That screen though, I used to have my Wahoo mounted on top tube. It just went flying whenever I crashed 🙃 But no place is safe from me, just broke the mount on my stem mounted Garmin.
I measured my E+2 (RS Zeb and Fox DPX2), size XL. BB height in high position is 335mm.
Regarding the handlebar height, I have 25mm of spacers under the stem (stock config). Looking at geo charts, Reign has 18mm higher stack than my S5 Kenevo. I figured out handlebar height should be pretty much...
