Sometimes I can't understand Pole's decisions.
Why do they have 2 different overlapping platforms with over / undestrocking bikes that nobody really understands who they are for? I mean it is obvious that they have sent either the wrong bike or the wrong version of the "correct" bike so if...
I care more about achieving the desired ridding performance rather than a specific sag % . Obviously it is not 5% or 50% - it should be around 25% - 30% if I remember correctly and I always try to balance the fork & shock performance.
Running too much sag and then adding volume spacers could...
What I said was just an example of the bracketing method but yes usually less psi mean plusher ride and more traction until of course you go too low. Of course what is too low or too high depends on your weight, riding style, terrain, fork model etc.
I have a 190 Zeb and I run lower than...
No matter where you start (higher or lower pressure) try the bracketing method in order to get the desired performance. For example start at 80 and see if you are happy. If it is too hard try 70. If it is still too hard try 60. Then if 60 is too soft try 65. If 65 is still too soft then try 67.5...
If someone is already fit & without any problems (bad knees etc) then a regular bike should be fine but otherwise emtbs seem to be a great option for a lot of people.
I am 44, 10 kg above my ideal weight & I have a "bad knee" (chondropathy & tendonitis). I have been riding mtbs for almost 20...
I bought the new Zeb but I had to return it due to some manufacturing issues (tight bushings leaving marks on the stations). Instead of ordering it again I upgraded the spring with the new one and I am quite happy but it isn't day & night difference. It seems to stay higher in the travel as most...
I wish there was a bit more clarity from Pole regarding existing product life cycle & new product introduction so buyers would be able to make informed decisions.
Considering that my warranty experience with Specialized was much better than the OPs, it is safe to say that in my case the Specialized approach was way superior to what Pole is offering.
Anyway, I am not either a Specialized fanboy or a Pole hater (I actually like Pole bikes since the...
The 40 euros for the whole year seem like a fair price but since I only watch DH (and the semi finals are free) I won't subscribe at least for this year.
I had a Specialized Enduro Comp in clear carbon & a S Works Enduro in black and even though the clear carbon wasn't that bad I much preferred the black one.
I don't have much experience on ebike batteries (I got my first ebike 5 months ago) but I let it cool down first and then charge it to 100% with a "slow" charger the night before each ride.
