Pic of the Day

[Tankboy]

Thought I'd throw these pics up for a bit historical reference

There roughly all in line on at the bottom brackets, although the Voima is more forward a bit, you can judge the difference between the frame sizing, reach and wheel bases etc. First bike is a 2009 DH Foes Mono 2:1 26 inch in large (with non standard dropper post), next 2019 SC Nomad V4 27.5 inch in X-Large, then the Voima 29 inch in a K3 size.

You can see how the seat posts have come forward over the years although not a really a fair comparison as the DH bike would never be running a seat post that long back in the day. You can guess which one is easy to wheelie seated??

The Voima hasn't got the saddle extender fitted in these pics so that's a bit further back now.

Fair run that like 85k a day . Had you much ascent I would struggle with that even like with my 700 battery.

 

[Rubinstein]

Hi, not much climbing involved, between 4-600 meters a day. On the first run over almost 100k I still had 3 bars of battery left on my 625. On the second run around the coast it was a different story due to a bastard head wind all day. In some places I was using 50% assist on the flat just to cut through. I love doing the long range stuff, it’s a real challenge for me, both mental and physical, very rewarding if you achieve your goal

Yes magic I got 39 miles and 2000 feet ascent my last big one about a month ago , same the next day . Could have got another 5 miles maybe. Two brilliant days , winter is coming.

 

[Rubinstein]

Wow, legend, that is really good going, 2000 in one day !!!! must have been an epic ride, love it. Best I’ve managed so far is 99k with 1795m, took me 6.5 hrs with a range extender fitted and I don’t mind saying I was pretty smashed at the end

Tested the range when levo was new June 2019 eco mode and factory recommended settings . Got 42 miles and 3000 feet climbing with about 9 percent left. Repeated that ride about 6 months ago still got the same. Battery has definitely been the best part in this bike .

No gloves? If you crash guess what is most likely to hit the ground first? Hmmm ...

 

[irie]

I wear gloves when it’s hot and sweaty or I’m at high risk of crashing at speed. The weather was a cool dry 21.

D'ya wanna how long it takes to remove the skin from your hands at even 10 mph?

Thought not.

Yes booyeee

 

[Binhill1]

I’ve never crashed in the air. So it’s always tires then I crash. Hands hitting first usually is the worst because that means you’re reaching for the ground. It’s instinct but from skydiving to combative fighting you learn to crash and try to roll with the motion or catch your self with the meaty muscles of your arms and legs. In good snowboarding training the first thing they teach is how to crash and reaching is the big no!

Haha you sound like the 6 million dollar man , dream on pal.
